Audient iD44 MKII

Audient iD44 MKII

The Audient iD44 MKII is an updated take on the original iD44. Now in its second generation, iD44 MKII flaunts improved audio performance, an extra 9dB dynamic range for ADC, and loopback functionality. This 20 x 24 USB interface has four of Audient's console microphone preamps, two JFET instrument inputs, multiple class-leading converters, ADAT expandability, and a DSP mixer. The mic preamps feature the same circuit design from Audient's renowned ASP8024-HE console with vanishingly low the noise and distortion are, all while still maintaining a hint of the analog character you love. And with 60dB of gain on tap, you can use your favorite low-output ribbon mic on subdued sources. The unit's two DI inputs provide harmonic enhancement modeled after the input stage of a classic tube amplifier.

One of the hallmarks of the original iD44 was its high-performance AD/DA conversion. The iD44 MKII ups the ante with its improved ADC performance. Audient's team of engineers pulled out all the stops to improve the Total Harmonic Distortion Plus Noise (THD+N) figure by 9dB. With its new THD+N figure of 112dB, you'll notice you have more headroom, experience less audible distortion, and reduce noise in your signal. With its outstanding conversion capabilities, all you have to do is press record. The iD44 MKII does the rest.
