Audient Audio Interface iD4 MKII, Class A Console Microphone Preamp (High Speed USB-C, Monitor Mix and Monitor Panning Function, 2 Headphone Outputs, Mac/PC/iOS Compatible), Black

Product Information

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).

Ensuring the finest recording experience straight out of the box, the Audient iD4 MKII includes the same preamps that are in the ASP8024-HE console, a piece of gear that's highly regarded for its next-to-nothing noise and distortion. Then it adds in multiple channels for running different software, and two alternative monitoring mixes that you can switch between or route to any available outputs (iD14 MkII only). The Audio ID4 MkII combines form and function with two headphone outputs powered by a Class-AB headphone amp and a volume encoder with iD ScrollControl virtual scroll wheel which lets you control DAW hosts, plug-in parameters and even navigate through the iTunes library.Meanwhile using the speaker button and iD button together allows you to adjust the left/right balance of the zero latency monitoring. However, if you’re after a more audiophile experience their iD desktop range has always been a good bet. Comparing them to their own even more budget‑friendly EVO 4 and EVO 8 interfaces there’s not much in it on paper.

For truly compact audio interfacing on the move, Audient’s recent EVO series has much to offer and an impressive, slick design. This is a smart‑looking update to the very capable iD4 and iD14 audio interfaces that bring them bang up to date.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 majority of the connections are on the back with just the instrument input and dual headphone socket falling past the front edge’s smooth curve. These sorts of bundles are brilliant and get people started without having to think about what may or may not work with your interface. A pair of jack outputs feed your speakers at the rear, and the headphones are located usefully at the front, where you can plug in both a 3. Designed to take your recordings to the next level in every way, the iD4MKII delivers professional audio performance in a compact and modern desktop package.
