Product description Audient iD44
Four microphone preamps at the highest level, packed in a robust housing: The Audient iD44 is aimed at those who seek uncompromising sound quality. With its discrete Class-A circuit design, directly from Audient's legendary ASP8024-HE mixing console, this desktop audio interface offers exceptionally precise sound reproduction and a natural analog warmth. Particularly when recording, which requires an authentic and characterful sound aesthetic, the preamp section showcases its strengths.
With a total of 20 inputs and 24 outputs, the iD44 is suitable for both smaller project studios and ambitious home recordings. Two ADAT interfaces allow flexible digital expansion, while the two discrete JFET instrument inputs are specifically tailored to the needs of guitarists and bassists. Headphone monitoring is not neglected: Two independently adjustable headphone outputs offer high-level reserves and excellent sound quality.
The operation is pleasantly direct. Large, machined aluminum knobs provide a premium tactile feel. In addition, there are customizable function buttons and ScrollControl, a clever feature that allows comfortable control of various DAW parameters. Other practical features such as Talkback, Dim, and Cut buttons make everyday studio work significantly more efficient.
A high-quality DSP mixer with extremely low latency ensures that you can work without disturbing delays, even in demanding sessions. Thanks to the sturdy metal housing and a dedicated power switch, the iD44 is perfectly suited not only for the desktop but also for mobile use. Additionally, the comprehensive Audient ARC software package – including plugins from Eventide and a license for Steinberg Cubase LE – rounds off the overall package.

Super Sound, viel Kontrolle
Die Vorverstärker sind großartig und die AD / DA-Chips sind viel besser als die in meiner alten Interface (Saffire Pro 14). Die vielen Bedienelemente auf dem Gerät sind sehr nützlich und von hoher Qualität. Für mein kleines, aber wachsendes Studio war dies ein definitives Upgrade.
