They will hear the premiere of the iD44, a powerful audio interface

iD44 has been designed with Class A microphone preamplifiers equal to those found in Audient's large format mixing consoles.

The British manufacturer Hear just released the to date most powerful desktop audio interface: iD44.

Four Class A microphone preamplifiers (identical to those incorporated in their consoles) that offer a gain of 60 dB, the most advanced conversion technology, options for digital expansion, a new, more intuitive, mixing-oriented software, and that has been designed to make it easier For use in large projects, the impressive potential offered by its 20 inputs and 24 outputs, all housed in a solid metal housing, provides a solid foundation for a complete recording studio.

Andy Allen, Marketing Director at Audient, comments: “iD44 is the natural expansion of Audient's range of high-performance audio interfaces, built on award-winning features; using the highest quality components and adding new improvements "We have been inspired by the opinions of our clients."

“Just like our smaller interfaces, the mic preamps are exactly the same as those found in our large format mixing consoles, making us the only company to use the same discrete class A mic preamps across our entire product range. . “iD44 continues to deliver true analogue heritage to our customers,” he adds.

A study in a pocket

Las ADAT inputs and outputs They provide the user with enough flexibility to grow their studio, allowing up to 16 more channels of microphone preamps to be added, which is ideal for large sessions, such as recording a live band or a large drum kit. “iD44 is the perfect long-term investment for those hoping to build their studio little by little,” Andy continues.

Channels 1 and 2 also offer two balanced insert points. “You can add your favorite compressor, reverb or EQ while recording, or have direct access to the analog-to-digital converters for unlimited creative options, such as making copies, FX processing or integrating external analog sources with line level. “iD44 provides all the flexibility the modern producer needs.”

The next Windows driver update Audient will also provide significant improvements, allowing the size of the buffers to be reduced and working with lower latency, so the user will have software as reliable as the hardware. “What you get for your money, in terms of features and quality, is unrivaled in today's market,” says Andy.
