Audient iD44 MK2 20 in | 24 out Audio Interface
***not currently in stock***
Our most powerful audio interface just got better. The latest generation of iD44 sees improved audio performance, additional must-have features and a beautiful new smoke-grey finish. The addition of audio loop-back and a dual headphone output, combined with four Audient Console mic preamps, class-leading converters, ADAT expandability and balanced inserts – means iD44 delivers the audio performance of an Audient console straight to your desktop.
Every iD interface features the Audient Console Mic Preamp, the same discrete circuit design found in our renowned recording console the ASP8024-HE. Designed to deliver ultra-low noise and low distortion with a touch of classic analogue warmth, iD44’s four Audient Console mic preamps will give you the professional sound you deserve.
The Audient mic pre is a high grade hybrid discrete and op amp design that delivers a clean, accurate and detailed translation of your source.
Now that’s quiet
With a noise floor 30,000 times quieter than the signal level your recordings will be captured with stunning clarity.
Class leading converters
Brilliance on the inside enables brilliance on the outside
Offering an incredible 126dB of dynamic range, iD44’s class leading converters have been designed to deliver the most honest and natural translation of your audio, helping you hear subtle detail, identify problematic issues and make better mix decisions. Experience remarkable clarity from the moment you press play.
Even better ADC performance. Just when we thought we couldn’t make the original iD44 sound any better, the MKII sees a massive 9dB improvement on the ADC’s THD+N figure, meaning clean audio with less added noise and even less audible distortion.
Expand via ADAT - more channels, more possibilities
Easily configure your studio to tackle bigger sessions. Equipped with two optical input and output connectors, iD44 gives you plenty of options for expansion. Supporting both ADAT and SPDIF, boost your I/O by adding up to 16 channels of mic preamps to your setup.
Balanced Inserts - hardware Integration
Integrate your favourite outboard FX prior to conversion and start creating signal chains that rival the very best. The insert returns also gives you direct access to the A/D converters providing the cleanest signal path possible, making it great for print-backs or integrating outboard line level sources.
JFET Instrument Inputs - plug and play
Designed to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, iD44 features two harmonically rich JFET Instrument Inputs giving you the perfect sonic foundation for your guitars or basses before you hit your amp sims.
Speaker Outputs
Connect and listen to your mixes through two sets of speakers with iD44’s four line outputs. Alternatively use the extra line outputs to send audio to an external headphone amp for distribution to your artists.
Headphone Outputs
Easily record and collaborate with others by utilising iD44’s two individual stereo headphone amps, both providing more than enough power for your headphones to perform accurately.
