The upgraded specs and added features are welcome additions, and we think they’ve done well to remain competitive. That being said, if you’ve only recently bought a 2nd gen interface — we wouldn’t worry.

Focusrite has done a great job with the new 3rd generation interfaces. While first glances may give the impression that they are just a prettier version of their former selves, the real magic lies under the hood. This is evident in many of the upgrades: Please note, that all the devices will need to be connected to a computer to set up the routing in Focusrite Control and set the sample rate. There is no iPad version of Focusrite Control, so a Mac or Windows computer must be used to do this.
