Hey it’s Harry, and today we’re going to take a look at the wide
range of features available on our 2in | 2out audio interface, iD4.
iD4 delivers the audio performance of a large format console in a portable and beautifully
designed desktop package, enabling you to take your recordings to the next level in every way.
Every iD interface features the Audient Console Mic preamp, the same preamp design found in our
renowned console, the ASP8024 Heritage Edition. Designed by David Dearden in the late 90s,
the Audient Console Mic pre delivers ultra-low noise and low distortion audio,
with a touch of classic analogue warmth to add a bit of character to your recordings!
iD4 has a single Audient Console preamp, allowing you to connect
microphones using an XLR cable, or line level equipment using a TRS jack.
The input gain is easily adjustable with the dedicated gain knobs,
and for condenser microphones, iD4 delivers true 48V phantom power over USB,
ensuring your microphones get the power they need for optimal sonic performance.
So as well as the preamp on channel 1, iD4 has a JFET Instrument input on channel 2,
enabling you to record anything from electric guitars and basses to analogue synths.
Our discrete D.I circuit has been designed to replicate the input
stage of a classic valve amplifier, ensuring you get an accurate, yet warm signal when recording.
So whether you’re quickly laying down an idea,
or running a full guitar tracking session with an amp sim,
iD4’s harmonically rich Instrument Input is the perfect sonic foundation for your guitar or bass.
High quality converters are a vital factor in ensuring you
are accurately hearing what you’re recording or mixing.
iD4’s converters make sure you hear every detail of your audio on the way in and the way out,
letting you make better creative decisions and taking your recordings to the next level.
As well as a set of speaker outputs on the rear of the unit, iD4 has a dual headphone output,
capable of driving headphones up to 600 Ohms, with both quarter inch and mini jack connections,
perfect for collaborating with friends and other artists
or for when you misplace your headphone adapter.
Don’t let latency slow you down when you are recording. Using iD4’s Monitor Mix knob,
quickly create and monitor a blend of your inputs and computer audio,
find the perfect balance and lay down your tracks effortlessly.
And as a bonus, if you rotate the monitor mix knob all the way to input,
you can actually see the level of your inputs on the meters to check your levels are set correctly.
As well as getting ultra-low latency recording, iD4’s Monitor Pan feature
enables you to pan both the mic pre input and Instrument input from left to right,
making it easy for you to create a balanced headphone mix that suits you.
Simply press and hold the iD and speaker buttons, then rotate the main knob.
With iD4's ScrollControl feature, you can turn the 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 a screen.
iD4 is compatible with iOS devices, so recording on the go is easier than ever.
For those using newer iOS devices with USB C connectivity,
you can power iD4 directly from the device. For those using older models with Lightning connectors
all you need is a Camera Adapter Kit and a powered USB Hub
and you're ready to start recording anywhere.
We know the modern day producer needs reliability,
and iD4 has been built to last, with it's all metal construction,
it's been designed to withstand everyday use both at home and on the move.
Finally, as with any Audient product, when you buy iD4 and register it on our website,
you gain access to a free suite of creative software including Cubase LE, some industry
leading plugins and virtual instruments, so you can start recording as soon as you open the box.
iD4 MkII delivers professional audio performance in a compact and modern desktop package,
and gives you everything you need to create studio quality recordings at home.
