Manufacturer's Description from Audient

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.

 

The professional sound

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.

 

How does it sound?

The Audient mic pre is an all discrete high grade 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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Hardware Integration

Integrate your favourite outboard FX prior to conversion and start creating signal chains that rival the very best.

  • Track with hardware FX
  • Mix with hardware FX
  • Record external mic pres

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.

 

Be in the moment

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.

Lost your headphone adapter or need a third set of headphones? iD44 now benefits from the addition of a dual headphone output, including both a ¼” jack and a mini-jack, on headphone output one, providing even more monitoring flexibility when you need it.

 

Creativity unleashed

Now equipped with Audio Loop-back, iD44 can quickly transform into a multi purpose powerhouse. Giving you the ability to capture playback from multiple applications on your computer at the same time as your microphones, Audio Loop-back lets you create a custom audio feed ready to send to your streaming software. Ideal for content creators, podcasters and streamers.

  • Record your computers audio
  • Send audio to live streams
  • Collaborate on mixes online
  • Record gaming audio

 

What is Audio Loop-back?

Audio loopback is becoming an increasingly in-demand feature due to the prevalent rise of podcasting, Youtube/content creators and gaming streamers. So just exactly what is loop-back and how would you use it?

 

Experience ultra-low latency

The iD mixer tightly integrates hardware and software, letting you effortlessly set up low latency direct monitoring, create up to four stereo artist cue mixes, name and customise channels, save layout presets, assign hardware function buttons and quickly setup advanced routing.

iD44’s Loop-back feature is also controlled via the Software Mixer, enabling you to select the Loop-back source from 6 different options to suit a variety of practical scenarios. Endless possibilities, speedy workflow.

 

Innovation meets communication

iD44’s dedicated talkback technology enables you to use any audio source connected to your computer such as a built in or USB microphone as your talkback mic, freeing up valuable mic pres for recording.

 

Advanced Monitor Control

Speed up your workflow with iD44’s three programmable function buttons. Assign any of the advanced monitoring features, including Speaker Select, Mono Sum, Polarity Reverse or Cue Mix monitoring, to any of the F-buttons and quickly take control of your session.

 

The virtual scroll wheel

Turn iD44’s volume knob into a virtual scroll wheel and take control of a variety of compatible onscreen parameters. Quickly dial in settings, adjust faders or even write in automation without spending hours staring at the screen.

 

All of our products come with a three-year limited warranty guaranteeing you further protection and peace of mind when you choose Audient.

 

Make a connection

iD44 comes with both a standard USB Type-A cable and a USB Type-C cable enabling you to connect to any USB compatible Mac or PC supporting USB 2.0 or above.

 

Built to last

iD44 delivers professional quality audio in a beautifully engineered and all-metal package.

 

Create instantly

Bundled with a free suite of creative software including Cubase LE, alongside industry leading plugins and virtual instruments, you can start recording as soon as you open the box.
