Amazon is offering the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio 3rd Gen Recording Bundle for $199.99 shipped. Down from its $290 price tag, it spent the year keeping above $245 until November when Black Friday discounts started bringing down costs. Today’s deal is a 31% markdown off the going rate, beating out its Black Friday pricing by $17 and marking a new Amazon all-time low. All-in-all, to buy each of the included items separately would cost you well over $315 in new conditions, making this deal an opportunity worth grabbing while it is still available.
The Focusrite Scarlett interfaces are a popular option for affordable recording setups, whether you’re a well-seasoned audio engineer or just starting out. The interface itself features two high-headroom instrument inputs, two low-noise balanced outputs for speakers, a switchable air mode, a headphone output with dedicated volume control, and support for up to 24-bit/192kHz audio resolutions. The large diaphragm condenser mic will let you capture recordings “faithful to the original source,” while the upgraded HP60 MkIII closed-back headphones provides “studio-quality sound” and long-lasting comfort for those long mixing sessions.
