Page 11: Connecting Scarlett 2I2 To Loudspeakers
Connecting Scarlett 2i2 to loudspeakers The ¼” jack outputs on the rear panel can be used to connect monitoring speakers. Self-powered monitors (e.g., typical computer speakers) incorporate internal amplifiers with a volume control, and may be connected directly. Larger, passive loudspeakers will require a separate stereo amplifier; in this case, the outputs should be connected to the amplifier’s inputs. - Page 12 Professional power amplifiers will generally have balanced inputs; we highly recommend using balanced cables to connect these to the outputs of the Scarlett 2i2. NOTE: You run the risk of creating an audio feedback loop if loudspeakers are active when you are monitoring a microphone! We recommend that you always turn off (or turn down) monitoring loudspeakers while recording, and use headphones when overdubbing.
