Audient has announced the launch of its highly anticipated iD48 audio interface, debuting at this year’s NAMM show. Designed for producers and engineers, the iD48 combines professional-grade features with user-friendly functionality, setting a new standard for desktop audio interfaces.
Andrew Allen, Audient’s Marketing Director, shared his excitement:
“Since launching the iD Desktop Interface Range, our customers have been asking for an 8-channel iD audio interface. We’re thrilled to introduce iD48—a powerful, intuitive, and expandable interface capable of handling even the most demanding sessions.”
Unmatched Audio Quality and Flexibility
At its core, the iD48 features eight Audient Console Mic Preamps delivering 68 dB of gain, ultra-low noise, and analog warmth. Utilizing 32-bit ESS converter technology, the iD48 achieves 126.5 dB of dynamic range, ensuring pristine audio with unparalleled detail.
A standout feature is the Switchable Analog Insert Technology, which enables users to seamlessly integrate outboard gear. This allows the flexibility to route the Audient Console Mic Preamp, DAW outputs, or bypass the mic preamps entirely—all without re-patching cables.
Expandable I/O and Advanced Monitoring
The iD48 supports up to 16 additional channels via ADAT and S/PDIF, making it future proof for growing studio setups. Its professional monitoring capabilities include Main and Alt speaker outputs, two independent headphone amps with 124 dB dynamic range, and configurable function buttons for personalized workflows.
Additional Highlights:
-
JFET Instrument Inputs for authentic analog warmth when recording guitar or bass.
-
Fully balanced 8 Analog Inserts for direct signal routing.
-
Ultra-Low Latency Control Software with the iD Mixer app for advanced routing and cue mix creation.
-
Bundled creative software, including Cubase LE and premium plugins via Audient’s ARC.
