★For professionals
Sound better than ever with Audient console mic preamps! The iD48's eight Audient console mic preamps ensure you capture clean, accurate, and true-to-source audio, adding a touch of classic analog warmth with 68dB gain, ultra-low noise, and low distortion.
★How's the sound?
Audient console mic preamps are all individual high-grade op-amp designs that reproduce your source cleanly, accurately, and in detail.
★Ultra-low noise floor The noise floor is 30,000 times quieter than the signal level, allowing for incredibly clear recordings.
Genuine Analog Console Mic Preamps: This unit uses the same fully analog, discrete mic preamp circuitry found in the company's famous ASP8024-HE recording console. No emulations or copies, just a genuine analog console mic preamp on your desktop.
★Advanced 32-bit converter technology
The iD48 utilizes 32-bit ESS DAC converter technology to minimize audio degradation during conversion and ensure the best possible performance. Audio is reproduced cleaner, clearer, and more accurately than ever before. And with a dynamic range of 126.5dB, you can hear subtle details more accurately, so you can pinpoint problem areas faster.
Switchable routing for the first time! The iD48's switchable insert routing lets you choose which source is sent to the ADC path. Choose between sending an Audient mic preamp or DAW output to your outboard gear on a per-channel basis, without having to plug or unplug cables.
★Tracking with External Preamps Additionally, for users who want to record with external analogue mic preamps, the iD48's Returns allow you to bypass the Audient mic preamps, providing an extremely clean and direct AD conversion path for recording.
★Make monitoring simple!
Not only is the iD48 a great, powerful USB-C audio interface, it also has all the features you need for studio-ready monitoring control.
* Input/output expansion
Leverage the iD48's optical input and output connections to make short work of even the most demanding sessions and prove the reliability of your studio. Supporting both ADAT and SPDIF, the iD48 lets you add up to 16 channels of external mic preamps to enhance your I/O.
◆Headphone output
Mix confidently on headphones with the iD48's two engineer-grade independent stereo headphone amplifiers, which also provide a high dynamic range of 124dB and enough power to drive headphones up to 600Ω.
◆Speaker Outputs You can listen to your mix through the main and alternate speaker outputs. You can also send the audio signal from the extra line output to an external headphone amplifier for use as a monitor source for the artist.
◆Talkback
The iD48's innovative talkback technology allows you to use a USB microphone or your computer's built-in microphone as a dedicated talkback microphone, freeing up valuable microphone preamp channels for recording.
◆User-configurable monitor control Powerful monitoring functions such as speaker selection, dim, and mono sum can be assigned to two dedicated hardware function buttons.
◆JFET Instrument Inputs Recreating the input stage of a classic tube amplifier, the two harmonically rich JFET instrument inputs provide the perfect sound base for guitar or bass before using an amp simulator.
◆USB-C bus powered
The iD48's high-speed USB connection provides ultra-low latency monitoring and stable driver performance on both macOS and Windows.
The iD48's fanless design allows for near-silence under any circumstances, making it suitable for any studio environment.
◆Looks good, feels good
At just over 44cm wide, with all-metal construction and removable rack ears*, the iD48 is designed to withstand the rigors of both the studio and touring. Stable, reliable and ready to go.
◆Fully compatible with outboard connections
Via the Dsub connection, the iD48 offers eight balanced inserts, allowing you to incorporate your favorite outboard FX before AD conversion, creating the cleanest possible signal path, suitable for stem mixing and printback.
