Audient Audio Interface iD4 MKII, Class A Console Microphone Preamp (High Speed USB-C, Monitor Mix and Monitor Panning Function, 2 Headphone Outputs, Mac/PC/iOS Compatible), Black

Product Information

The iD4 is a 2-in 2-out 24-bit / 96kHz compact desktop design with one rear-mounted mic/line input and one front-mounted instrument input. I even tend to find that when I ask people what budget interfaces they are using, it’s very common for them to say the Audient iD4 or the Scarlett 2i2.

Engineered to survive everyday use, iD4 delivers professional quality audio in a small, beautifully engineered and all-metal package. This is quite a great way to be honest, as you no longer have to modify these settings per DAW, allowing you to just set them and then away you go! We were amongst the first dedicated companies to offer the type of cutting edge technology that now grace recording studios the world over, and 25 years on, we have. See pages 24 - 28 in the iD4 MKII Manual for information on setting up the iD4 with some common DAWs. Audio Interface: Able to simply handle any task thrown its way, the Audient iD4 MKII provides a performance that's sure to impress with 24-bit/96kHz audio quality, allowing you to hear every finer nuance within your session with minimal hassle.Finally, the top panel includes a five-step output meter that temporarily doubles as a level indicator when you adjust one of the controls.

Dual Headphone Output: Consisting of a dual jack connection, users can select and use whatever headphones make them feel comfortable whether they have a standard or mini jack connectivity. PC, I got it to work only after going through all Windows trouble shooting menus a couple of times, and then after the next restart of the computer the Audient just stopped working entirely - would have required a new install, it seemed. If you hit the iD button the knob becomes a mouse scroll wheel and means you can take control of knobs and faders just by placing your mouse pointer over them. The microphone inputs, based on the Audient ASP8024‑HE console, were clear, spacious and noise‑free.

Latency-Free Performance: For those looking for impressive results from first use, the iD4 MKII provides this with a latency-free functionality no matter how many virtual instruments and plugins are added to your session. What is the level difference you get between using line-in and mic in at 11 o'clock while leaving output level unchanged? Designed to deliver true phantom power over USB, iD4 will make sure your mics get the power they need to ensure optimal sonic performance.
