sE Electronics SE2000 Large Diaphragm Condenser Mic MKII

The SE2000 MKII is ideal for vocal and acoustic instrument recording in the home and project studio environments. Designed to offer high quality results and exceptional value, this large diaphragm condenser microphone has a centre-terminated gold-sputtered (mylar diaphragm) capsule. New features include a lower signal-to-noise ratio, improved electronics, a new metal chassis based on the SE2200 A II and a rubberised noise-dampening mic clip.

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Recording Interface

The Scarlett 2i2 is a 2 in / 2 out USB recording interface, which features two award-winning Focusrite preamps. It's housed in an attractive anodised aluminium unibody chassis, leaving you with a great sounding, great looking device which you can take on the road with you!

Having designed some of the most popular microphone preamps in the industry, Focusrite give you the transparent, low-noise and low-distortion preamp found not only in the Scarlett 2i2 but also their flagship Firewire interface, the Liquid Saffire 56. There's plenty of available headroom, which makes it suitable for moving coil, condenser and ribbon microphones regardless of the source. Phantom power is provided for mics that need it.

The front panel Neutrik combination input can be used to connect line and instrument level signals as well as microphones. This makes it perfect for recording the output of a synthesiser or stage piano, whilst at the flick of a switch you can cater for the output of an electric or acoustic guitar.

The Scarlett 2i2 features unique halo signal indicators which inform you that you've got a good signal level for recording. Red means that your signal is clipping, and that you should reduce the gain. The halo will momentarily turn amber as the level returns to a healthy level, at which point it will turn green.

Get tactile control for the volume of your speakers with the large monitor dial. A high quality headphone amp provides a clean yet loud signal to headphones connected to the front panel socket. The direct monitor switch routes audio directly from the inputs to both the headphone and speaker outputs, allowing you to monitor the incoming signal with zero-latency.

Included with the Scarlet 2i2 is Ableton Live Lite 8, as well as Focusrite's Scarlett plug-in suite. Compatible with all major DAWs, Scarlett plug-in suite provides EQ, Compression, Gate and Reverb - essential tools for polishing your mix.
