Some microphones have artificially-boosted high frequencies to make them sound bright and airy . However, this accentuates sibilant sounds, and can lead to a very harsh and unpleasant result. The STC-2 has a very smooth high frequency roll-off, ensuring a more natural presence to your recordings.
The STC-2 s low-cut filter and 10dB pad switches will further help you get the best from your recording, making this microphone a really flexible all-round tool for your studio.
A spider suspension mount is also provided, which helps to isolate the sensitive microphone from any transient noises travelling through the microphone stand.
Supplied in a smart aluminium flight case, the STC-2 represents incredible value for money and will put you on the right track to getting great results.
"STC-2 is a refined performer...the high frequencies sound smooth and unhyped, the low end is similarly balanced and the mid range sounds clear and natural."
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.
Front Panel Neutrik Combination Input
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.
Unique Halo Signal Indicators
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.
Great Monitoring Capabilities
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.
Now Includes: EZ Drummer Lite:
EZdrummer Lite is the stripped down version of the multi-microphone drum-sampler EZdrummer. It is designed for musicians and producers in need of a compact, affordable, easy to handle plug-in without compromising sound quality or control.
The visualized drums in the interface combine auditioning of sounds and drumkit construction. The extensive drag and drop midi-library enables users to create a great drumtrack in less than five mouse-clicks. For more advanced handling, users can control microphone bleeding and levels between drums using the internal mixer. The mixer also allows stereo and multitrack routing into the host through one single plug-in, and thanks to the second generation Toontrack Percussive Compression (TPC), system requirements are kept to a minimum. The drums for EZdrummer Lite were recorded, produced and played by the best in the business at Avatar Studios in New York.
