Audient iD1 MK3

The Audient iD1 MK3 (formerly the iD4) is a 2-in / 2-out desktop audio interface for the solo musician, built around two things most in its class can't offer: built-in RoomTune™ Monitor Correction and a tone-shaping Console Mic Preamp with real analogue saturation. It adds hardware-accelerated DSP FX and 32-bit conversion, and is bus-powered over USB-C for Mac and Windows.

Audient Console Mic Preamp. It uses the same fully analogue design found in the flagship ASP8024-HE console: Class-A circuitry and 75 dB of clean gain, enough to drive an SM7B or any dynamic mic without a booster, with a signal path quiet enough for whispered vocals and soft acoustic parts.

Smartgain. Press the button, play your loudest part and the iD1 sets the level in seconds, with no clipping and optimised headroom for quiet verses and big choruses alike.

Analogue Tone Suite. Real analogue saturation that shapes the sound of the preamp before it reaches your DAW, so recordings arrive sounding like a record, not a demo.

RoomTune™ Monitor Correction, built in. It corrects your room response inside the interface, with zero CPU cost and always on from the moment your monitors power up, so your mixes translate everywhere. Guided setup takes under twenty minutes and it works system-wide: in your DAW, in Spotify or in any app. Requires the Audient RM1™ Reference Microphone, sold separately.

Hardware-accelerated DSP FX. EQ, compression and reverb processed on the interface itself, with zero latency and no CPU cost: fix a dull vocal or a boomy guitar on the way in and add reverb to the headphones for a more inspiring take.

JFET instrument input. Modelled on the input stage of a classic valve amp, it gives amp sims the rich, responsive signal they need. It is independent from the mic preamp, so you can record vocals and guitar at the same time, each on its own track.

32-bit conversion at up to 192 kHz with 128 dB of dynamic range: a lower noise floor, more headroom and monitoring you can trust when mixing.

Monitoring. Stereo output for studio monitors, dual headphone jacks (6.3 mm and 3.5 mm) so you and a collaborator can listen without an adapter, and a direct monitor button: the main encoder blends your input and backing track with near-zero latency.

iD Control. Your whole session in one window: input gain, Analogue Tone Suite, DSP FX, routing and monitoring, with total recall, pro monitor controls (Mute, Dim, Mono and Polarity Invert), loop-back for streaming and podcasting and a standalone mode that keeps your settings without a computer. Compatible with macOS and Windows.

Metal chassis, stepped encoder and back-lit meters and switches.
