Product Information

the sound quality is exemplary, and the feature set brings them in line with our modern needs for streaming and podcasting. Quickly create and monitor a blend of iD4’s inputs and your computer audio, find the perfect balance, and lay down your tracks effortlessly. Sound quality from the headphone out is also good - definitely good enough for monitoring while recording. I retested with two different TRS-TRS cables, and still got the same high-frequency attenuation above 5KHz on the Line-in.

Equipped with both a jack and mini jack connection and a powerful headphone amp capable of driving headphones up to 600Ohms, iD4 is ready to take on the most demanding recording sessions. If you hit the iD button the knob becomes a mouse scroll wheel and means you can take control of knobs and faders just by placing your mouse pointer over them. One delightful Windows‑orientated bonus feature that you never see is that the system tray icon gives you quick access to the main settings, including ASIO Buffer Size — bravo!connections: With one "blue" USB on a PC, playback dropped randomly to zero after stopping recording or closing an application (without any visual indication of this).

There’s no doubt that Audient have beefed up the quality of the internal converters in the MkII to climb back on to the top of the pile where the original models were five years ago. On the top panel, in addition to two preamp gain controls, you get hardware monitoring via a simple balance control (Input/DAW) and output level is set via the large push button volume encoder. You can record vocals, spoken word, and acoustic instruments with no worries about the pre-amp quality. As the description says, you can record both inputs at the same time, like most interfaces, so you can easily record guitar and vocals simultaneously.It’s more adaptable to different situations, even before adding a further eight inputs via an ADAT connection. Latency-Free Performance: For those looking for impressive results from first use, the iD4 MKII provides this with a latency-free functionality no matter how many virtual instruments and plugins are added to your session. Designed to take your recordings to the next level in every way, the iD4 (MKII) delivers professional audio performance in a compact and modern desktop package, giving you everything you need to make studio quality recordings at home. Starting to make music properly, i like everything from rock/indie/prog to house/tech/experimental ambient/hip hop whatever. Yes there are a couple of features I’d love to add on top, but I’m nitpicking there and taking into account the amount you get for your money, this interface really is fantastic value!

As you can see in the sound properties below, you have all the bit depths and sample rates you’ll probably need with this modest setup. Studiocare Professional Audio Limited is acting as a credit broker offering finance products from Omni Capital Retail Finance Limited. No need to find a power outlet as iD4 is powered directly from your computer via USB, without compromising on sound quality or performance. The JFET design is quiet and punchy with plenty of headroom and if you do happen to clip the input, the distortion is natural and pleasing. The Audient ID4 MkII is a compact 2-in 2-out usb audio interface with the superb Audient's console mic pre, excellent AD/DA Converters and zero -latency monitoring.

The new iD4 audio interface , alongside its sibling iD14, has been given a mk2 upgrade, and now features better dynamic range, improved signal to noise ratio and a beefed up headphone output.
