Black Friday audio interface deals 2025: The best interface savings from all across the web

My top pick for our guide was the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen, which for me, delivered the best balance of features, performance, and software offering. Its low-latency performance is simply phenomenal, and you can get it to go below 5ms on Mac which is incredibly low considering the price. It’s great on Windows too, with one of the most robust drivers I’ve ever encountered. Add in some cool features like clip safe and auto gain modes alongside significant improvements in AD/DA conversion, and there’s a good reason it sits in the top spot of my guide. With a nice $30 off over at Sweetwater, it’s the ultimate interface for the vast majority of music makers out there.

The Audient iD4 MkII is a fantastic bit of kit, and I actually still use it as my travel interface when I need to mix on the go. It’s compact, easy to use, and delivers top-quality sound as you’d expect from a company that makes consoles for professional studios. I love the dual headphone outputs which allows for quick and easy collaboration, and I picked it out as a great option for beginner mixers who want something easy to use, but with enough room to grow into as they develop their craft. It’s currently got a cool $30 reduction in the Guitar Center sale, so if you’re looking for a great all-rounder they don’t come much better than this.

If you want something a little more ‘pro’, the Universal Audio Apollo Twin X is the step up you’ve been looking for. I use its bigger brother, the X4, as my daily in my home studio, and when I was reviewing the Twin X I really loved the analogue style workflow it encourages you to take on. By harnessing the DSP power within the interface itself, you can offload processing from your computer to the interface itself, allowing you to place plugins on the input path like you would in a proper studio. It’s got a huge $200 discount at Sweetwater right now, so if you’re ready to step up to the big leagues, then this is the interface for you.

I picked out the SSL2+ MKII as a great interface for recording vocals, because SSL preamps are known for being ultra-clean. This is certainly the case with what’s an offer here, but there’s also some additional functionality that I think makes it particularly well-suited for vocalists or those who primarily record vocals. The dual headphone outs are great for collaborating with others on tracks, and with dedicated volumes for each, you can set a perfect balance for you and the vocalist you’re working with. The built-in low cut for each track is also super handy, allowing you to get rid of any low-end rumble you might get from your singer moving around whilst they deliver their take. With a nice $50 reduction in the Guitar Center sale, it’s a great time to pick up this interface and upgrade the sound of your recordings for Black Friday.

For those who primarily record guitars, the IK Multimedia Axe I/O is the ultimate guitar audio interface. It’s got some properly cool guitarist-friendly features, like the ability to switch the input for active or passive pickups, an impedance control for changing the high-end content, a dedicated reamp out for changing those DI tones, and it even has a built-in guitar tuner. It’s got a ginormous $100 off at Sweetwater in the Black Friday sale, so if you want to upgrade the way you record your guitars, this is my favorite interface for guitarists.

Perfect for studios on a budget, the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 offers some serious features for far less than their similarly spec'd competitors. It's got a $60 discount at Guitar Center in their Black Friday sale, and while it's not huge numbers, we still think it's excellent value even at its full price. The preamps are as high quality as those on bigger name interfaces, and the 18i20 is ideal for the producer looking to take a step up to recording full drum kits and larger groups simultaneously.

One of my favorite interfaces I've reviewed over the past year, the Universal Audio Apollo X4 Gen 2 is an absolute powerhouse for music production. It's got a hefty $300 off at the moment in the Guitar Center Black Friday sale, and it would be my top pick for engineers looking to upgrade from a more beginner friendly interface to something more professional.

Despite having only been around for a year or so, the Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen is on sale at Guitar Center as part of bundle that includes an Audio-Technica microphone, a pair of Sterling studio headphone, plus a mic stand and cable, giving you a state-of-the-art audio interface and studio rig for less. The bundle has a welcome $156 discount.

If you thought that USB couldn't match Thunderbolt for latency, then the RME Fireface UFX II will make you think differently. The sound quality of this thing is incredible and it has some of the best mic pres we've heard thus far. We love the built-in mixing software too. It's got a huge $200 discount at Sweetwater at the moment, a great opportunity to pick up a professional-level interface for a lot less.

Although it may look like the US military's latest stealth bomber, this is in fact an audio interface that's determined to do things differently. The space-age looks aside, the Lewitt Connect 6 features a whole range of connectivity, flexible internal routing that allows it to play a variety of roles, and a built-in compressor, expander, EQ, and maximizer. With a lovely $50 discount at Sweetwater, it's perfect for those musicians who want something different from your average crimson audio interface.
