Compare the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen with the Behringer U-PHORIA UMC202HD, and consider used audio interfaces too. The Arturia Audiofuse 16 Rig is another option, but its listed price makes it a much bigger-budget consideration.

The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen has a listed best new price of €162. The Behringer U-PHORIA UMC202HD is listed at £55, making it worth investigating if keeping costs down is your priority. These prices use different currencies, so compare final costs in the same currency before buying.

The Arturia Audiofuse 16 Rig is listed at £1,002. It is worth considering only if your requirements justify the larger spend; price alone does not establish whether it is a better fit. Compare connection types, input and output counts, and computer compatibility before choosing.

For second-hand options, the Used audio interfaces & preamps list is the most relevant starting point. Check each unit’s condition, included accessories and seller’s return terms alongside its asking price.
