                The main difference between the two audio interfaces is the number of audio inputs/outputs (I/O). Both come standard with two XLR inputs and a 1/4” headphones output. Both the 2i2 and the 2i4 also have two mono channel outputs. The 2i4 goes beyond, though, and adds 4-channel stereo output and MIDI in/out.May 25, 2022
