Scarlett Solo and Scarlett 2i2 can be used with USB-C iPad Pro devices in fully mobile, bus-powered mode over several hours. However, Focusrite recommends using a powered connection wherever possible.

That's where Focusrite's almost all-in-one package comes in. The Scarlett 2i2 Studio bundle aims to make the premium XLR upgrade upgrade a little easier, and perhaps cheaper too.

$169.99 at Guitar Center (Save $20) I've used my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface for almost two years, and while it's by no means perfect, it's incredibly accomplished for the price.
