OVERVIEW

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Scarlett Studio package, part of the range of Focusrite professional

computer audio interfaces incorporating high quality, Focusrite analogue pre-ampliﬁers. You now

have a simple, compact and complete solution for recording with a microphone or directly from

instruments, by routing high quality audio to and from your computer.

This User Guide provides a detailed explanation of the components to help you achieve a thorough

understanding of the Scarlett 2i2’s operational features. We recommend that whether you are new

to computer recording or a more experienced user, you should take the time to read through the

user guide so that you are fully aware of all the possibilities that the Scarlett Studio components and

accompanying software has to offer. If the main User Guide sections do not provide the information

you need, be sure to consult http://www.focusrite.com/answerbase, which contains a comprehensive

collection of answers to common technical support queries.

Features

The Scarlett Studio package comprises a Scarlett 2i2 computer audio interface, a Scarlett Studio CM25

studio quality condenser microphone, a pair of Scarlett Studio HP60 reference quality headphones

and all the necessary software – including Steinberg’s Cubase LE - to get you started with recording

great audio on your computer as quickly as possible.

The Scarlett 2i2 hardware interface is the key component in the Scarlett Studio system; this provides

the means of connecting the CM25 (or other) microphone, musical instruments or line level audio

signals to a computer running Mac OS or Windows. The signals applied at the 2i2’s physical inputs

can be routed to Cubase LE or other recording software via a USB connection. Similarly, the recording

software’s monitor or recorded output will appear at the 2i2’s physical outputs. (Note - computer

audio recording software is frequently referred to as a “Digital Audio Workstation”, or “DAW”, and

the term “DAW” is used throughout this user guide.)

Audio sources – mics, instruments, etc. - connected to the 2i2’s physical inputs can be recorded in

the DAW and then routed from your DAW to the physical outputs. The 2i2’s various physical outputs

can be connected to the HP60 headphones, or if you wish, to an ampliﬁer and speakers, powered

monitors, analogue mixer or any other analogue audio equipment that you wish to use. Although all

inputs and outputs on the Scarlett 2i2 are routed directly to and from your DAW for recording and

playback, you can conﬁgure the routing within your DAW in order to meet your needs.

GETTING STARTED

IMPORTANT - PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU INSTALL THE SCARLETT 2i2

DRIVERS BEFORE CONNECTING THE INTERFACE TO YOUR COMPUTER.

Software Installation

We aim to ensure that the latest installation software will be on the disk included with your

Scarlett 2i2. However we strongly recommend that you check for any later version on our website at

www.focusrite.com/downloads before performing the software installation.

The registration card (“Download your Software”) included with the Scarlett 2i2 enables you to

download the latest installers from the Focusrite website.

Mac OS

1. Insert your installer disk into your computer’s DVD-ROM drive.

2. A window should appear displaying the contents of the disk. If this window does not appear

automatically, you can manually navigate to the disk using Mac OS Finder.

3. Locate the ﬁle ‘Focusrite USB 2 Driver.pkg’; double-click its icon to begin the

installation.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to perform the installation.

5. When the installation is complete, you will be prompted to restart your computer.

6. After restart, connect the Scarlett 2i2 to your computer.

Your OS should automatically switch the computer’s default audio outputs to be the USB port to

which the Scarlett 2i2 is connected. To verify this, go to System Preferences > Sound, and ensure

that the input and output are set to Scarlett 2i2. For more detailed setup options on a Mac, open

Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup.

Windows Installation

1. Insert your installer disk into your computer’s DVD-ROM drive.

2. A window should open displaying the contents of the disk. If this window does not appear

automatically, you can manually navigate to the disk using Windows Explorer.

3. Identify the ﬁle ‘‘Focusrite USB 2 Driver.exe’; double-click its icon to begin the

installation.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

5. When the installation is complete, restart your computer.

6. After restart, connect the Scarlett 2i2 to your computer.

Your OS should automatically switch the computer’s default audio outputs to be the USB port to

which the Scarlett 2i2 is connected. To verify this:

• on Windows 7 - go to Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Manage

Audio Devices and ensure that ‘Default Playback’ and ‘Recording’ are set to ‘Scarlett

2i2’.

• on Windows 8 - navigate to Control Panel, and then select Hardware and Sound > Sound

> Manage Audio Devices and ensure that ‘Default Playback’ and ‘Recording’ are set to

‘Scarlett 2i2’.

Connecting your Scarlett 2i2

IMPORTANT: Before you connect the Scarlett 2i2 to your computer,

please complete the software installation according to the

instructions above. This will ensure that the hardware uses the

correct drivers, and will prevent unexpected behaviour.

The Scarlett 2i2 has a single USB 2.0 port (on the rear panel). Once the software installation is

complete, simply connect the Scarlett 2i2 to your computer using the USB cable provided. (Note that

Scarlett 2i2 is a USB 2.0 device and thus the USB connection requires a USB 2.0-compliant port on

your computer. It will not operate correctly with USB 1.0/1.1 ports.)

Audio Setup in Cubase LE (or your other DAW)

The Scarlett 2i2 is compatible with any Windows-based DAW that supports ASIO or WDM and any

Mac-based DAW that uses Core Audio. After installing the drivers and connecting the hardware, you

can start using the Scarlett 2i2 with the DAW of your choice. Steinberg Cubase LE is included on the

Scarlett 2i2 Resources DVD to allow you to get started if you do not already have a DAW application

installed on your computer. To install Cubase LE, locate the ﬁle Start Center on the DVD, double-

click it and follow the on-screen instructions. Operating instructions for Cubase LE are beyond the

scope of this User Guide, but the application includes a full set of Help ﬁles.

Please note – Cubase LE may not automatically select the Scarlett 2i2 as its default I/O device. In

this case, you must manually select the driver on Cubase’s Device Setup* page (Devices menu >

Device Setup > VST Audio System). Select Scarlett 2i2 USB driver for Mac or Focusrite USB

2.0 driver for Windows. Please refer to your DAW’s documentation (or Help ﬁles) if you are unsure

where to select the ASIO/Core Audio driver. The following example shows the correct conﬁguration

in the Cubase LE Device Setup pane (Mac version shown).

*Typical name. Terminology may differ slightly between DAWs.

Once the Scarlett 2i2 driver is selected, Inputs 1 & 2 and Outputs 1 & 2 will appear in your DAW’s

Audio I/O preferences. Depending on your DAW, you may need to enable certain inputs or outputs

before use. The example below shows Inputs 1 & 2 and Outputs 1 & 2 enabled in Cubase LE Device

Setup.

*Typical name. Terminology may differ slightly between DAWs.

Example of Usage

The Scarlett 2i2 is an excellent choice for several different recording and monitoring applications.

Some typical conﬁgurations are shown below.

Connecting a microphone or instrument

This setup illustrates the most typical conﬁguration for recording with the DAW on your Mac or PC. In

this case, you might record guitar through Input 1 and vocals through Input 2 into Cubase LE, while

monitoring the DAW playback via headphones or loudspeakers.

The front panel input sockets are Neutrik Combo® type, which accept either an XLR male connector

(you will ﬁnd one on the end of the microphone cable supplied) or a ¼” (6.35 mm) jack plug. Note the

Scarlett 2i2 has no “Mic/line” switch – the Focusrite preampliﬁer stage is automatically conﬁgured

for a microphone when you plug an XLR into the input, and for a line or instrument when you connect

a jack plug. Set the LINE/INST switch next to the socket to INST if you are connecting a musical

instrument (a guitar in the example) via an ordinary 2-pole (TS) guitar jack, or to LINE if you are

connecting a line level source such as the balanced output of a stage piano via a 3-pole (TRS) jack.

Note the Combo connector accepts both TRS and TS types of jack plug.
