Audient iD2+ MK3

The Audient iD2+ MK3 (formerly the iD24) is a 10-in / 14-out desktop audio interface for the producer building a serious studio, built around two things most in its class can't offer: built-in RoomTune™ Monitor Correction with the RM1™ in the box, and two tone-shaping Console Mic Preamps with real analogue saturation. It adds balanced hardware inserts for your outboard, hardware-accelerated DSP FX and 32-bit conversion, and is bus-powered over USB-C for Mac and Windows.

Audient Console Mic Preamp. All 2 preamps use 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 iD2+ sets the level in seconds, with no clipping and optimised headroom for quiet verses and big choruses alike. In stereo pair mode both channels are matched automatically.

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, with the RM1™ microphone included. It corrects your room response inside the interface, with zero CPU cost and always on from the moment your monitors power up. The factory-calibrated RM1™ Reference Microphone is in the box: guided setup takes under twenty minutes, stores two profiles (one per pair of monitors) and works system-wide.

Balanced hardware inserts. Balanced send and return on channels 1 and 2 put your outboard compressor or EQ in the signal path before your DAW, so its colour lands on the track. The return also works as a line input straight to the converters, bypassing the preamp.

Digital expansion. 8 channels of ADAT in and 8 out: add an external preamp to track a full band or drum kit, and send audio to outboard summing, monitor controllers or hardware effects racks. With word clock output.

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.

Front-panel JFET instrument input. Modelled on the input stage of a classic valve amp, it gives amp sims the rich, responsive signal they need, and is clean enough to re-amp later.

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.

Professional monitoring. Dual monitor outputs to check your mix on two pairs of speakers, dual headphone jacks (6.3 mm and 3.5 mm), dedicated hardware buttons for Mute, Dim, speaker switching and Talkback, an assignable function button (Mono, Reference Level or M/S mode) and dedicated input and output metering.

iD Control. Your whole session in one window: input gain, Analogue Tone Suite, DSP FX, routing and monitoring, with total recall, two artist headphone mixes, talkback using your computer's mic, 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.
