Audient iD44 MKii Desktop USB Audio Interface

Audient iD44 MKii Desktop USB Audio Interface

The most powerful audio interface from Audient just got better. A gorgeous new smoke-grey color, enhanced audio performance, and extra must-have features are all included in the Audient iD44 MKii Desktop USB Audio Interface. The iD44 brings the prowess of an Audient console right to your desktop thanks to the addition of audio loop-back and a dual headphone output, as well as four Audient Console mic preamps, class-leading converters, ADAT expandability, and balanced inserts.

The ASP8024-HE, a renowned recording console, uses the same discrete circuit design as the Audient Console Mic Preamp, which is a feature of every iD interface. The four Audient Console mic preamps in the iD44 are made to provide extremely low noise and low distortion with a hint of vintage analogue warmth, giving you the professional sound you need.

The Audient mic pre offers a clear, precise, and in-depth translation of your source thanks to its high-grade hybrid discrete and op amp construction.

The industry-leading converters from iD44, which provide an astounding 126 dB of dynamic range, have been created to give the most accurate and natural translation of your audio, enabling you to hear minute details, spot troublesome problems, and make smarter mix selections. As soon as you start playing, notice the extraordinary clarity.

Even greater ADC performance - the MKII sees a tremendous 9 dB improvement on the ADC's THD+N figure, resulting in clear music with less additional noise and even less audible distortion.

You can easily set up your studio to handle larger sessions. With two optical input and output ports, the iD44 offers a wide range of expansion possibilities. Up to 16 channels of mic preamps can be added to your setup, supporting both ADAT and SPDIF, to increase your I/O.

Balanced Inserts

Prior to conversion, integrate your preferred outboard FX and start building signal chains that can compete with the best. The insert returns also provide the clearest signal path possible by giving you direct access to the A/D converters, which makes them ideal for print-backs and integrating external line-level sources.

• Track using FX hardware
• Mix with hardware effects
• Keep track of external mic preamps

JFET Instrument Inputs

The iD44 includes two harmonically rich JFET Instrument Inputs that give you the ideal sonic foundation for your guitars or basses before you reach your amp simulators. This device was created to mimic the input stage of a vintage valve amplifier.

Speaker Outputs

With the four line outputs of the iD44, you may connect and listen to your mixes through two sets of speakers. Use the other line outputs instead to distribute audio to your artists via an external headphone amplifier.

Headphone Outputs

Utilize the iD44's two separate stereo headphone amps, each of which offers more than enough power for your headphones to operate precisely, to easily record and actively collaborate with others.

Need a third pair of headphones or have you lost your headphone adapter? With the inclusion of a dual headphone output that features a 14" jack and a mini-jack on headphone output one, the iD44 now has extra versatility for monitoring when needed.

Software Mixer

The iD mixer tightly integrates hardware and software, enabling you to easily set up advanced routing, name and customize channels, save layout presets, assign hardware function buttons, and set up low latency direct monitoring, up to four stereo artist cue mixes, and save layout presets. The Software Mixer also allows you to control the Loop-back feature of the iD44, giving you a choice of 6 different sources to fit a range of real-world situations. Numerous options, quick workflow.

Talkback 

By using any audio source connected to your computer, such as a built-in or USB microphone, as your talkback microphone, the TALKBACK iD44's dedicated talkback technology frees up priceless mic preamps for recording

Console Style Monitor Control 

The iD44's three configurable function buttons will expedite your process. You can instantly take control of your session by assigning any of the sophisticated monitoring capabilities, such as Speaker Select, Mono Sum, Polarity Reverse, or Cue Mix monitoring, to any of the F-buttons.
