GETTING STARTED
With the Third Generation, Scarlett interfaces introduce a new, faster way of getting up and running,
using the Scarlett Quick Start tool. All you need to do is connect your Scarlett 2i2 to your computer.
Once connected, you will see the device is recognised by your PC or Mac and the Quick Start tool will
guide you through the process from there.
IMPORTANT: The Scarlett 2i2 has a single USB 2.0 Type C port (on the rear panel): connect it
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.
The Scarlett 2i2 does not need a separate power supply; It gets its power from your computer
via the USB connection. However, we recommend when using a laptop, the laptop is powered
using its AC adaptor, as otherwise the battery will drain faster than when powering from the
laptop alone.
Your computer will initially treat your Scarlett as a Mass Storage Device (MSD), and during its first
connection, the Scarlett will be in "Easy Start mode".
Quick Start Tool
We have tried to make registering your Scarlett 2i2 as simple as possible. The steps are designed to
be self explanatory, but we have described each step below, so you can see how they should appear
on either a PC or a Mac.
Mac users only:
On connecting your Scarlett 2i2 to your Mac, a Scarlett icon will appear on the desktop:
