Capture pristine audio with console-grade mic preamps
The iD48 is equipped with eight Audient Console Mic Preamps, delivering 68dB of gain, ultra-low noise, and a touch of classic analog warmth. These preamps are the same design used in Audient’s renowned recording consoles, ensuring professional-grade results. They faithfully capture the nuances of your audio, whether recording vocals, instruments, or other sources. The fully analog, discrete circuit guarantees a clean and accurate signal every time, without relying on digital emulation.
This makes the iD48 ideal for engineers and producers who require reliable performance and authentic sound quality in their recordings.
Experience next-level clarity with advanced converters
With 32-bit ESS converter technology, the iD48 offers exceptional audio fidelity, preserving every detail of your recordings. Its 126.5dB dynamic range ensures you can hear subtle nuances and identify issues quickly, making it easier to achieve release-ready mixes. Whether you’re monitoring, mixing, or tracking, the advanced conversion delivers cleaner and more precise results, reducing the risk of quality loss during signal conversion. This advanced technology empowers users to create polished tracks with confidence, while streamlining workflows in both home and professional studios.
Seamlessly integrate outboard gear
The iD48 introduces eight switchable analog inserts, allowing you to integrate hardware effects directly into your signal chain. By utilising D-Sub connections, you can patch in compressors, EQs, or other processors before the signal hits the converters, ensuring the cleanest possible path. Its unique routing lets you choose whether the mic preamp or DAW output feeds the external gear—perfect for tailoring your workflow.
Additionally, the inserts can bypass the internal preamps for direct recording with external mic preamps. This flexibility makes the iD48 an excellent choice for hybrid setups combining digital and analog equipment.
Simplify monitoring with versatile controls
The iD48 excels in monitoring with its user-configurable buttons, dual headphone outputs, and multiple speaker outputs. Its two engineer-grade headphone amps provide ample power and clarity for headphones up to 600 Ohms, while the Main and Alt speaker outputs enable effortless referencing across different monitors. The intuitive iD Mixer software adds further control, offering ultra-low latency, cue mix creation, and advanced routing.
With its built-in talkback feature, the iD48 even allows you to use a USB or built-in microphone for seamless communication during sessions, freeing up valuable mic preamps for recording tasks.
Durable design for reliable use
Designed to handle the demands of professional use, the iD48 features an all-metal chassis and detachable rack ears for flexible studio or mobile setups. Its fanless design ensures whisper-quiet operation, making it suitable for critical listening environments. At just over 44cm wide, it balances portability with functionality, offering robust performance wherever you take it.p>With the included ARC software bundle, featuring Cubase LE and premium plugins, the iD48 is a comprehensive solution for creators ready to elevate their production capabilities.
