Audient iD14 MKII 10-In/6-Out USB-C Audio Interface
Build an expandable recording setup with the Audient iD14 MKII. Two console mic preamps, a JFET instrument input, four line outputs, dual headphone sockets and optical ADAT expansion combine with 24-bit/96kHz recording in a compact USB-C interface.
Overview
AUDIENT ID14 MKII 10-IN/6-OUT USB-C AUDIO INTERFACE
Audient iD14 MKII
Audient iD14 MKII: A desktop interface for musicians and creators building a recording setup around quality analogue inputs and practical expansion. Keep your everyday controls within reach, with space to add digital inputs later. Available from AX Store in Kuwait.

Interface USB Connector
Two preamps. One instrument-ready desk.
Connect microphones to the two Audient Console Mic Preamps or plug a guitar into the front JFET instrument input. Switchable 48V phantom power supports microphones that require it.
Make monitoring part of the workflow.
Use the large encoder and iD controls to manage monitoring. Four line outputs and 3.5mm/6.35mm headphone sockets give you practical connections for speakers and headphones.
Expand when the session gets bigger.
The optical input accepts ADAT or optical S/PDIF. With an external ADAT preamp, add up to eight inputs at 44.1/48kHz, or four at 88.2/96kHz. Loopback supports capturing computer audio.
Plan the Session Around the Actual Inputs
Two analogue channels are available. The 10-input maximum includes eight ADAT inputs at 44.1/48 kHz; ADAT provides four at 88.2/96 kHz. The front JFET input replaces analogue input 1. Assign the live sources before recording and choose the appropriate microphone, instrument or line setting for the connection you use.
Supply the Host Power the Interface Needs
The power arrangement is USB bus power; minimum 0.9 A at 5 V from USB 3.0 or higher. Use the specified cable and adequate host or external power. Check a mobile setup separately, as a matching USB connector does not guarantee the connected device supplies the required current.
Connect a Microphone for the Analogue Signal Path
Use a suitable XLR microphone and cable for the interface’s analogue microphone input. Check whether the microphone requires 48 V phantom power, set the gain for the actual performance and keep USB microphone connections on their supported host route.
Audient iD14 MKII Setup Choices
Count the microphone and instrument inputs you need, then plan headphone monitoring, computer connections and any recording destination. Choose one deliberate audio route so playback and commentary reach the intended outputs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many physical recording channels does it provide?
Two analogue channels are available. The 10-input maximum includes eight ADAT inputs at 44.1/48 kHz; ADAT provides four at 88.2/96 kHz. The front JFET input replaces analogue input 1.
Which USB format and power should I plan for?
USB-C is the physical connector; this model’s host power requirement is USB bus power; minimum 0.9 A at 5 V from USB 3.0 or higher.
Which microphone connection should I use?
Connect an analogue XLR microphone to the supported microphone input. Use switchable 48 V phantom power only for a microphone or active accessory that requires it. USB microphones connect to their supported host separately.
Which recording format is supported?
Up to 24-bit / 96 kHz. Select a compatible sample rate and bit depth in the application; the stated maximum does not replace input-gain setup or guarantee an unclippable recording.
Are the two headphone sockets separate mixes?
The 3.5 mm and 6.35 mm sockets carry the same stereo headphone signal. Available output power also depends on the supported USB power supply.
Is iD14 MKII supported as an iOS or standalone interface?
Audient does not list iD14 MKII as supported for iOS or standalone use. Its desktop operation and optical expansion differ from iD4 MKII’s mobile support.
Does 10-in mean ten microphone sockets?
No. There are two analogue input channels; the maximum count includes eight digital ADAT inputs at 44.1/48kHz.
Are the two headphone sockets separate mixes?
No. The 3.5mm and 6.35mm sockets share the same stereo headphone output.
