Real Analogue Mic Preamps

The iD48 is equipped with 8 Audient Console Mic Preamps, providing up to 68dB of gain with ultra-low noise and distortion. These preamps feature the same discrete, fully analogue circuitry as Audient’s acclaimed ASP8024-HE console, delivering classic analogue warmth for a professional sound. Designed to capture every nuance of your audio with precision, these mic preamps offer clean and accurate results for vocals, instruments, or any audio source. Whether tracking vocals or recording complex ensembles, the iD48 delivers flawless audio fidelity.

Also, 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.

Next-Level Audio Performance

Featuring cutting-edge 32-bit ESS converters, the iD48 offers industry-leading audio clarity and performance. With a dynamic range of 126.5dB, you’ll hear even the subtlest details in your recordings, enabling you to mix and master with greater precision. These converters minimise distortion and preserve every detail of your sound, ensuring your work translates perfectly across different playback systems. Achieving release-ready results has never been easier, thanks to the iD48’s superior audio fidelity.

Expand Your Studio

The iD48 is designed for scalability and flexibility, featuring ADAT and SPDIF I/O to add up to 16 external channels. With 8 switchable analogue inserts, you can seamlessly integrate outboard gear for tracking, mixing, or bypassing the built-in preamps. The switchable routing allows you to route signal paths directly through external hardware or Audient’s preamps, offering maximum versatility for creative workflows. Whether you’re working on a complex session or exploring new sonic possibilities, the iD48 adapts to your needs.

Advanced Monitoring Control

The iD48 goes beyond being a mere interface, offering advanced monitoring features tailored to professional setups. With main and alt speaker outputs, you can easily switch between monitors for accurate referencing. Two independent stereo headphone outputs ensure artists and engineers can monitor simultaneously without compromising quality. Configurable function buttons allow quick access to essential features like dim, mono, or speaker select. Additionally, the built-in talkback functionality makes communication effortless, freeing up valuable mic preamps for recording.
