Audient iD44 MKII USB Audio Interface with 4 Console Mic Preamps and Class Leading Converters

Audient’s most powerful audio interface just got better. The latest generation of the iD44m, known as the Audient iD44 MKII sees improved audio performance, additional must-have features, and a beautiful new smoke-grey finish. The addition of an audio loop-back and a dual headphone output, combined with four Audient Console mic preamps, class-leading converters, ADAT expandability, and balanced inserts - meaning the iD44 delivers the audio performance of an Audient console straight to your desktop.
Audient Console Mic Preamps
Every iD interface features the Audient Console Mic Preamp, the same discrete circuit design found in Audient’s renowned recording console, the ASP8024-HE. Designed to deliver ultra-low noise and low distortion with a touch of classic analog 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. With a noise floor 30000 times quieter than the signal level your recordings will be captured with stunning clarity.
Class Leading Converters
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 details, identify problematic issues, and make better mix decisions. Experience remarkable clarity from the moment you press play. The MKII sees a massive 9dB improvement on the ADC’s THD plus N figure, meaning clean audio with less added noise and even less audible distortion.
Expand via ADAT
Easily configure your studio to tackle bigger sessions. Equipped with two optical input and output connectors, the iD44 gives you plenty of options for expansion. Supporting both ADAT and SPDIF, boost your I and O by adding up to 16 channels of mic preamps to your setup.
Balanced Inserts
Integrate your favorite outboard FX before conversion and start creating signal chains that rival the very best. The insert returns also give you direct access to the A and D converters providing the cleanest signal path possible, making it great for print-backs or integrating outboard line-level sources.
JFET Instrument Inputs
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. 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. Easily record and collaborate with others by utilizing iD44’s two individual stereo headphone amps, both providing more than enough power for your headphones to perform accurately. iD44 now benefits from the addition of a dual headphone output, including both a 1/4-inch jack and a mini-jack, on headphone output one, providing even more monitoring flexibility when you need it.
Audio Loop-Back
Now equipped with Audio Loop-back, the 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. Audio loopback is becoming an increasingly in-demand feature due to the prevalent rise of podcasting, YouTube content creators, and game streamers.
Software Mixer
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 customize channels, save layout presets, assign hardware function buttons, and quickly set up 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.
