Looks Small, Sounds Massive

Audient Console Mic Preamp

iD4 features a fully analogue Audient Console microphone preamp based on the discrete circuit design used throughout Audient's professional recording equipment.

With up to 58dB of clean gain, ultra-low noise, low distortion, and detailed transient response, the preamp is designed to capture vocals, acoustic instruments, amplifiers, and microphones accurately.

Full 48V phantom power is available for compatible condenser microphones, even while the interface is powered over USB.

58dB

Next-Level Performance

Advanced 32-bit Converter Technology

Audient uses advanced AD/DA converter technology in iD4 to preserve detail and minimise quality loss as your analogue recordings are converted into digital audio and back again.

The analogue-to-digital converter is rated at 120dB A-weighted dynamic range, while the line output DAC reaches 125.5dB A-weighted dynamic range.

This wide dynamic range helps reveal subtle mix details and gives you a clean monitoring path for recording, editing, producing, and mixing.

125.5dB

DAC Dynamic Range

Build on the Right Foundation

Class-A JFET Instrument Input

Connect your electric guitar, electro-acoustic guitar, bass, or compatible instrument directly to the front-panel JFET D.I. input.

The discrete Class-A JFET circuit is designed to provide a touch of analogue character and warmth, giving amp simulators and guitar plugins a strong foundation before processing begins.

Studio Quality Anywhere

Ultraportable USB-C Recording

iD4 is small enough for a desktop, backpack, or portable production setup while retaining an all-metal chassis designed for everyday studio use.

The interface is powered directly over USB, so there is no separate power adapter required when connected to a compatible computer with sufficient USB power.

iD4 is also compatible with supported iOS and iPadOS devices, allowing high-resolution mobile recording workflows.

Advanced Monitoring

Powerful Dual Headphone Outputs

iD4 features both 6.35mm and 3.5mm headphone connections, allowing you to connect studio headphones without constantly searching for adapters.

Both connectors can operate simultaneously and are driven by a high-current headphone amplifier capable of working with headphones up to 600 Ohms.

Audient rates the headphone stage at 125.5dB A-weighted dynamic range for clean and detailed monitoring.

30Ω Headphones

Up to 223mW rated maximum output.

62Ω Headphones

Up to 280mW rated maximum output.

600Ω Headphones

Up to 100mW rated maximum output.

Bye Bye Latency

Monitor Mix and Monitor Pan

Create a comfortable monitoring balance between your live microphone or instrument input and the audio playing from your DAW without relying entirely on software monitoring.

Hands-On DAW Control

ScrollControl

Press the iD button to turn the large volume encoder into a virtual scroll wheel for compatible software.

Hover your mouse over a supported plugin or DAW parameter and rotate the iD4 encoder to make adjustments with a more tactile, hands-on workflow.

ScrollControl can be useful for plugin parameters, automation moves, and other controls that respond to mouse-wheel scrolling.

Streamer Friendly

Audio Loop-back

iD4 includes a dedicated software Loop-back mixer that lets you combine microphone, instrument, and computer playback audio into a stereo feed for recording or streaming.
