Audient iD48 24-in/32-out USB Audio Interface with 8 Console Mic Preamps

The Audient iD48 is the flagship of Audient's iD interface range, a rack-format USB audio interface that Audient describes as 24-in and 32-out. It suits project studios that record full bands, use outboard gear or need plenty of monitoring outputs. Eight Audient console microphone preamps sit on XLR and jack combo sockets, each offering up to sixty-eight decibels of gain including a ten-decibel gain boost, switchable forty-eight-volt phantom power, a ten-decibel pad and a hundred-hertz high-pass filter. Audient quotes an equivalent input noise of minus one hundred and twenty-seven dBu. Channels one and two also have front-panel instrument inputs for guitar or bass. The converters are specified at one hundred and twenty decibels A-weighted dynamic range on the inputs and up to one hundred and twenty-six and a half decibels A-weighted on the outputs, with operation up to ninety-six kilohertz. Digital expansion and multiple line and headphone outputs allow the channel count to grow with additional preamps. The 1U metal chassis arrives configured for desktop use, and rack ears are included for mounting in a nineteen-inch rack. Andertons lists the unit as 28 outputs; this listing follows Audient's own 32-output figure.
