The sound of professionals
Taken from world-class lineage, the ID44 MKII USB Audio Interface boasts console-quality sound anywhere in the world. Using the same preamplifier circuit as found in the ASP8024-HE, the ID44 MKII delivers ultra-low noise and distortion with the signature analog warmth and depth that's traditionally reserved for studio consoles. Coupled with incredible AD/DA conversion, you can be sure that the quality of your audio punches well above its weight. Dynamic, natural and punchy, your mixes will translate across systems thanks to the incredibly detailed sound and the response of your interface.
Have it your way
Boasting user-friendly and intuitive software control, the Audient ID44 MKII offers flexibility when you need it most. Unleashing the power of the Audient IK44 MKII, this powerful software enables you to control virtually every aspect of your system. Create artist mixes, assign the three user-definable function buttons, set up advanced routing for comprehensive inputs and outputs and much more. Featuring dedicated talkback technology, the Audient ID44 MKII lets you utilise virtually any audio source as a talkback microphone such as USB mics or built-in microphones to save precious input spaces.
Employed to speed up your workflow and produce your music faster than ever, the ID44 MKII features three user-definable function buttons. Using these buttons, you can map to a myriad of functions including output selection, mono summing, polarity reversing and much more. Save time clicking and pointing with a mouse and keyboard and get to the important aspects of your mix quicker than ever.
Perfect for the contemporary producer, the ID44 MKII is equipped with a newly introduced audio loop-back. Streamers, gamers or podcasters can now benefit from capturing multiple applications through your computer simultaneously, creating a custom audio feed to send to your recording software. Controlled via the software mixer, the audio loop-back function lets you record your computer audio, send audio to live streams, collaborate on mixes virtually online or record game audio directly through your interface.
More connectivity, more possibilities
Offering a tremendous level of connectivity options, the ID44 MKII ensures you can connect all the instruments, microphones and equipment simultaneously. Two plug-and-play JFET instrument inputs replicate the input stage of classic studio valve amplifiers, delivering a harmonically rich sound. The perfect sonic canvas for your direct instruments such as electric guitar and bass, the ID44 MKII makes your digital amplifier emulations sound warmer, more alive and more importantly, more realistic.
Four high-quality Class-A microphone preamps offer immaculate sonic fidelity with ultra-high headroom, up to +60dB of crystal-clear gain for stunning resolution. The four microphone preamps are partnered with two fully-balanced send/return inserts to integrate your favourite studio outboard FX or processors. Using these inserts, the ID44 MKII USB Interface allows you to connect compressors, EQs or any studio rack effect such as reverb or delay to create the perfect signal chain for your recording before you even hit your DAW. The insert return path creates a direct line to the ID44 MKII's A/D converters, bypassing the internal microphone preamps and enabling you to record with external preamps or no preamps at all for an ultra-clean recording signal.
Ideal for monitoring, the ID44 MKII USB Audio Interface includes a wide range of outputs. Two stereo outputs can be used to connect two sets of speakers simultaneously or used for reamping signals from your DAW to external hardware, amplifiers or processors. Alongside four balanced outputs are dual headphone outputs for accurate silent monitoring. For convenient monitoring, the ID44 MKII's headphone outputs feature both 1/4-inch and minijack connections.
Expanding on the connectivity, ID44 MKII USB Audio Interface includes ADAT, transforming a 6-in/4-out interface into a 20-in/24-out studio powerhouse. Boost your recording system with up to 16 additional channels of digital inputs to tackle even the biggest recording sessions with ease.
