Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio Overview 

The Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio Ideal for simultaneously recording vocals and guitar, this third-generation Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio is a complete recording package featuring a third-generation Scarlett Solo 2×2 USB audio interface, a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone, closed-back headphones, an XLR microphone cable, and a creative software bundle.

Since the Scarlett Solo is powered via USB, you can take it anywhere your Mac or Windows computer can go.
