Audient iD44 20in/24out Audio Interface - Professional Studio Solution
The Audient iD44 is a powerful USB-C audio interface designed for producers and engineers, offering 20 inputs and 24 outputs in a compact, all-metal chassis. Featuring four Audient Console Mic Preamps, advanced 32-bit AD/DA converters, dual JFET instrument inputs, and dual ADAT/S/PDIF I/O for expansion, it delivers studio-quality audio. With customizable monitoring, ultra-low latency, Audio Loop-back, and standalone mode, the iD44 is ideal for large sessions, streaming, and mobile recording, backed by a 3-year warranty and free software.
Studio-Quality Mic Preamps and Inserts
The iD44’s four Audient Console Mic Preamps, derived from the ASP8024-HE console, provide 70 dB of gain with ultra-low noise and distortion, delivering clean, accurate sound with subtle analog warmth. Equipped with +48V, pad, and high-pass filter switches, they ensure versatile mic performance. Two balanced inserts allow integration of outboard FX or direct A/D access, perfect for complex signal chains and stem mixing.
Advanced Conversion and Monitoring
With 32-bit AD/DA converters, the iD44 achieves a 126.5 dB dynamic range (DAC) and 122 dB (ADC) for pristine audio. Four line outputs support dual speaker setups, while two headphone outputs (1/4” and 1/8”, up to 600 Ohms) enable collaboration with three headphone sets. Advanced monitoring includes dedicated mute, dim, talkback, speaker switching, mono, and polarity reverse, with three programmable function keys for tailored workflows.
Expandable and Streamer-Friendly
Dual JFET instrument inputs emulate classic valve amps for warm guitar and bass recordings. Dual ADAT/S/PDIF I/O expands the iD44 to 20 inputs and 24 outputs, ideal for drums or live bands. Audio Loop-back captures computer audio, guest makin calls, or gaming audio, perfect for streaming and podcasting. Dedicated talkback uses any USB or built-in mic, freeing preamps. Standalone mode enhances portability for live use.
