Audient iD48 24in/32out Audio Interface - Flagship Studio Solution
The Audient iD48 is the ultimate USB-C audio interface for producers and engineers, offering 24 inputs and 32 outputs in a robust, all-metal chassis with detachable rack ears. Featuring eight Audient Console Mic Preamps, advanced 32-bit ESS AD/DA converters, eight switchable balanced inserts, and dual ADAT/S/PDIF I/O, it delivers pristine audio for large sessions. With ultra-low latency monitoring, Audio Loop-back, standalone mode, and customizable controls, the iD48 is ideal for studio recording, live tracking, and streaming, backed by a 3-year warranty and free software.
Studio-Quality Mic Preamps and Inserts
The iD48’s eight Audient Console Mic Preamps, derived from the ASP8024-HE console, deliver 68 dB of gain with ultra-low noise, distortion, and a touch of analog warmth. Equipped with +48V, pad, +10 dB boost, polarity invert, and high-pass filter controls, they ensure versatile mic performance. Eight switchable balanced inserts (via D-Sub) allow integration of outboard FX or direct A/D access, with per-channel routing to bypass preamps, perfect for stem mixing and print-backs.
Advanced Conversion and Monitoring
With 32-bit ESS converters, the iD48 achieves a 126.5 dB dynamic range (DAC) and 120 dB (ADC) for crystal-clear audio. Twelve line outputs support main and alt speaker setups, while two independent headphone outputs (up to 600 Ohms, 124 dB dynamic range) enable collaboration. Advanced monitoring includes dedicated mute, dim, talkback, speaker switching, mono, and polarity reverse, with two programmable function keys for customized 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 iD48 to 24 inputs and 24 outputs over USB, ideal for drums or live bands. Audio Loop-back captures computer audio, guest calls, or gaming audio, perfect for streaming and podcasting. Dedicated talkback uses any USB or built-in mic, and standalone mode enhances live portability.
