The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen is a two-input USB-C audio interface selling for £164.00 — the third entry in this guide of fifteen, and the pricier of the two Focusrite units here. The Amazon listing gives it 4.7 out of 5 from 2,626 ratings, and of the 100 ratings it breaks down, 83 are five-star, 11 are four-star, four are three-star and two are one-star.

Where the spec block gets careless is the frequency response. The field reads "20000 Hz" — a single figure, where a frequency response is normally a range, and nothing in the listing says what the low end is. In the same block, Maximum Sample Rate is given as 192 KHz and the item highlight repeats "24-Bit/192kHz". The disagreement is wider elsewhere: Operating System says Windows, while Supported Software lists Logic Pro, GarageBand and Bitwig, which are not Windows applications. One field does hold together — Number of Channels says 2, and the highlight describes 2 Mic Preamps and 2 Hi-Z Instrument Inputs. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing; none of it comes from our own testing.

## Questions people ask

**What frequency response does the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen have?**

The listing gives a single figure of 20000 Hz rather than a range, so the bottom of the response is not stated anywhere in the ad.

Number of Channels is listed as 2, and the item highlight describes 2 Mic Preamps and 2 Hi-Z Instrument Inputs. These two fields agree.

**Does it work with a Mac?**

The Operating System field says Windows, but the Supported Software field lists Logic Pro and GarageBand, which run on macOS — the two fields contradict each other.

Maximum Sample Rate is listed as 192 KHz, and the item highlight states 24-Bit/192kHz and a 120dB dynamic range.

**What software is included?**

The listing names Pro Tools Intro+, Ableton Live Lite, Cubase LE and the Hitmaker Expansion suite of effects, instruments and mastering tools.
