Monitoring with DIRECT MONITOR set to OFF can be useful when using an FX plug-in to your DAW to
create a stereo effect which contributes to the live performance. In this way, you will be able to hear
exactly what is being recorded, complete with the FX. However, some latency may result, the amount
depending on the DAW’s buffer size and processing power of the computer.
Connecting Scarlett 2i2 to loudspeakers
The ¼” jack outputs on the rear panel can be used to connect monitoring speakers. Self-powered
monitors incorporate internal amplifiers with a volume control, and may be connected directly.
Passive loudspeakers will require a separate stereo amplifier; in this case, the outputs should be
connected to the amplifier’s inputs.
