Packing in eight Audient Console Mic Preamps, advanced 32-bit ESS converter technology and the all new Switchable Analogue Insert technology, iD48 seamlessly combines astonishing audio performance with ease of use. Add to that professional must have features like ADAT expandability and customizable monitor control, iD48 is ready to transform your studio.

     

    Real Analogue Mic Preamps: 8 x Audient Console Mic Preamps

    Level-up your recordings with the Audient Console Mic Preamp. Delivering 68dB gain, ultra- low noise and low distortion with a touch of classic analogue warmth. iD48’s eight Audient Console mic preamps make sure you capture a clean, accurate and true to source translation of your audio.

     

    That’s the same fully analogue and discrete mic preamp circuit design found in our renowned recording console the ASP8024-HE. No emulations, no copies, just real analogue console mic preamps on your desktop.

     

    Next-level Audio Performance: Advanced 32-bit Converter Technology

    Utilizing 32-bit ESS DAC converter technology to minimize quality loss and maximize performance during conversion, iD48 makes sure your audio sounds cleaner, clearer and more precise than ever. And with 126.5dB of dynamic range, you will hear subtle details better and identify problematic issues faster – making getting release ready results easy.

     

    Expand your Studio: Add more channels with Digital I/O

    Make short work of the most demanding sessions and future proof your studio with iD48’s optical input and output connections. Supporting both ADAT and SPDIF, iD48 lets you boost your I/O by adding up to 16 channels of external mic preamps to your setup.

     

    Built for Outboard Integration: 8 x Switchable Analogue Inserts

    Utilizing Dsub connections, iD48 provides eight fully balanced inserts letting you integrate your favorite outboard FX prior to conversion - giving you the cleanest signal path possible. Perfect for stem mixing and print-backs.

     

    And for the first time ever, iD48’s Switchable insert routing enables you to select which source is feeding the ADC path. Letting you choose whether to send the Audient Mic Preamp or DAW outputs to your outboard on a per channel basis and all without having to plug or unplug cables.

    • Track with hardware FX
    • Mix with hardware FX

     

    Plus, for users wanting to record external analogue mic preamps, iD48’s Returns let you bypass the Audient Mic Preamp, giving you a super clean and direct conversion path for recording.

    • Record external mic preamps
    • Bypass the built-in mic preamps

     

    Make monitoring simple: Advanced Monitoring Control

    iD48 not only excels as a powerful USB-C audio interface, but also provides everything you need to get studio-ready monitoring control.

     

    Speaker Outputs

    Connect, listen and reference your mixes through Main and Alt speaker outputs. Alternatively use the extra line outputs to send audio to an external headphone amp for distribution to your artists.

     

    Headphone Outputs

    Confidently mix on headphones with two engineer-grade, fully independent stereo headphone amps, providing 124dB dynamic range and enough power to support headphones up to 600Ohms.

     

    User Defined Monitor Control

    Configurable function buttons let you assign any of iD48’s powerful monitoring capabilities, such as Speaker Select, Dim or Mono Sum to the two dedicated hardware Function Buttons.

     

    Talkback

    Take advantage of iD48’s innovative talkback technology, letting you use a USB microphone or your computer's built-in mic as a dedicated talkback mic – freeing up valuable mic preamps for recording.

     

    Ultra-low Latency Control Software: iD Software Mixer

    Optimized for speed, the iD Mixer is your productivity's best friend. Quickly set up ultra-low latency direct monitoring, create up to four stereo cue mixes, save layout presets and quickly setup advanced routing - all from one easy to use app.

     

    Plug and Play: JFET Instrument Inputs

    Designed to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, iD48’s two harmonically rich JFET Instrument Inputs gives you the perfect sonic foundation for your guitars or basses before you hit your amp sims.

     

    Looks good, feels good

    At just over 44cm wide, an all-metal construction and with detachable rack ears, iD48 is designed to survive everyday use, whether in the studio or up against the wear and tear of travel. Stable, reliable and ready to go.

     

    Whisper quiet

    A fanless design means iD48 provides near total silence no matter what you throw at it. Perfect for any studio environment.
