Audient launches iD44, a powerful audio interface

iD44 has been designed with Class A microphone preamplifiers equal to those found in Audient's large format mixing consoles.

The British manufacturer They will listen just released the to date most powerful desktop audio interface: iD44.

Four Class A microphone preamplifiers (identical to those incorporated in their consoles) that offer 60 dB gain, the most advanced conversion technology, options for digital expansion, new, more intuitive, mixing-oriented software, which has been designed to be easier to use in large projects, the impressive potential offered by its 20 inputs and 24 outputs, and all housed in a solid metal casing, provide a solid foundation for a complete recording studio.

Andy Allen, Marketing Director at Audient, comments: “iD44 is the natural expansion of Audient's range of high-performance audio interfaces, building on award-winning features, using the highest quality components and adding new improvements "We have been inspired by the opinions of our clients."

"Just like our smaller interfaces, the mic preamps are exactly the same as those found in our large format mixing consoles, making us the only company to use the same discrete Class A mic preamps across their entire product range. iD44 continues to deliver true analogue heritage to our customers," he adds.

A study in a pocket

Las ADAT inputs and outputs They provide the user with enough flexibility to grow their studio, allowing up to 16 more channels of microphone preamps to be added, which is ideal for large sessions, such as recording a live band or a large drum kit. “iD44 is the perfect long-term investment for those hoping to build their studio little by little,” Andy continues.

Channels 1 and 2 also offer two balanced insert points. "You can add your favorite compressor, reverb or EQ while recording, or have direct access to analogue-to-digital converters for unlimited creative options, such as copying, FX processing or integrating external analogue line-level sources. iD44 provides all the flexibility the modern producer needs."

The next Windows driver update Audient will also provide significant improvements, allowing the size of the buffers to be reduced and working with lower latency, so the user will have software as reliable as the hardware. “What you get for your money, in terms of features and quality, is unrivaled in today's market,” says Andy.
