Audient iD4 MKII

The iD4 MKII's rear microphone input is equipped with Audient's in-house Class A console microphone preamp, which delivers up to 58dB of gain and is known for its fast response and neutral sound character. A 48V phantom power switch is conveniently located on the rear panel alongside the microphone connection, making it easy to accommodate a wide range of recording setups. On the front panel, the instrument input is built around discrete JFET technology, recreating the classic input stage found in traditional valve amplifiers and allowing direct connection of instruments fitted with pickups. Adding further flexibility, both headphone outputs can also be used at the same time whenever simultaneous monitoring is required.

The British company Audient has its headquarters in Hampshire and has been developing professional audio equipment since 1997. Their early success was achieved with the large-format, analogue inline console ASP8024, whose simple design and outstanding sound characteristics are still the trademark of Audient's product range today. Since then, they have developed a whole range of audio interfaces, microphone preamps and DAW controllers, while of course still manufacturing high-end consoles. Audient thus combines traditional analogue recording technology with cutting-edge, innovative and user-friendly digital technology for computer-assisted music production. The ASP preamp modules series and iD desktop interface series are among Audients’ most successful products.
