The 3rd Generation has surely rectified the first issue with an extended gain range, although soft spoken podcasters will still benefit from an additional preamp.įocusrite’s signature Air mode has proven to be quite successful from what we can tell, seeing that the company has equipped every model of the Clarett and Scarlett lines with this feature. At most you had to be wary of louder drummers and buy a FetHead or Cloudlifter for your quieter sources, but that was the height of its shortcomings. Even the second generation Scarletts had adequate preamps. If you want better quality, you’ll have to spend at least $600 on a decent preamp before you start seeing any significant changes. Perhaps if the unit was worse there’d be something more interesting to say. Its DAC and ADC both offer high-quality performances without any notable areas of weakness. Considering that the unit’s max sample rate is 192 kHz (well beyond the ranges of human hearing), there isn’t much left to be desired. The back panel is a no-frills mania, reserved solely for the TRS outputs and USB-C port. Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen audio interface (rear panel)
