Audient iD4 1-Channel USB2 Audio Interface

You Can't Unhear Quality: 2in/2out Audio InterfaceiD4 delivers the audio performance of a large format console in a portable desktop package enabling you to record your vocals and guitar simultaneously. Providing one renowned Audient console mic pre, class-leading converter technology, dual headphone outputs, console style monitor control, JFET D.I and their virtual scroll wheel technology 'ScrollControl', iD4 is a professional but affordable solution for your home studio or for when you’re on the road.

Audient Console Mic Pres: The professional sound you deserveThey are the only company that use the same Class-A mic pre design throughout their entire product range, whether you’re in the studio with an Audient console or on the road with iD4, you’re always guaranteed the same world class Audient sound.

Pristine Converter Technology: Brilliance on the inside enables brilliance on the outsideiD4 provides you with high performance AD-DA converters. Quality in the analogue stages of design comes from years of experience as analogue console designers, and when coupled with outstanding converter technology it enables you to hear audio as it’s supposed to sound. The importance of converters should never be underestimated. Experience audio the Audient way.

ScrollControl: The virtual scroll wheelWith a touch of a button iD4’s volume encoder becomes a virtual scroll wheel, enabling you to adjust DAW hosts, plug-in parameters and even scroll through your iTunes library - just like you’re adjusting a piece of hardware. Wherever your mouse pointer hovers, the iD knob can scroll to control! And when you're not using ScrollControl, pressing iD4’s volume encoder activates DIM, enabling you to quickly reduce the playback volume.

Plug and Play: Simply plug in and be inspirediD4 has a harmonically rich JFET D.I input. Designed to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, you can plug your guitar, bass, keyboard or drum machine straight in and start recording instantly. Get professional quality recordings from the start and take your track to the next level.

Monitor Pan: Headphone mixes with clarityRecording an acoustic guitar and vocal? iD4’s Monitor Pan feature enables you to pan both the mic pre input and D.I input from left to right, making it easy for you to create a balanced headphone mix that suits you. Quickly plug in, set up a headphone mix and starting tracking instantly, perfect for singer songwriters & producers on the go and getting the clarity you need when tracking.

Monitor Mix: Record with confidenceiD4’s Monitor Mix feature lets you monitor a blend of both iD4’s inputs and your DAW playback, providing near zero latency monitoring while recording. Designed with creativity in mind, Monitor Mix allows you to quickly blend in your DAW playback and start recording along to your multitrack instantly, enabling you to focus on the music and lay down your track effortlessly.
