English Description about Audient iD48 USB-C Audio Interface below
The Ultimate iD Interface
Bigger, better and more powerful than ever, iD48 is the flagship USB iD interface made for producers and engineers. Packing in eight Audient Console Mic Preamps, advanced 32-bit ESS converter technology and the all new Switchable Analogue Insert technology, iD48 seamlessly combines astonishing audio performance with ease of use. Add to that professional must have features like ADAT expandability and customisable monitor control, iD48 is ready to transform your studio.
For the pros
Sound better than ever with the Audient Console Mic Preamp. Delivering 68dB gain, ultra- low noise and low distortion with a touch of classic analogue warmth. iD48’s eight Audient Console Mic Preamp’s make sure you capture a clean, accurate and true to source translation of your audio.
How does it sound?
The Audient Console Mic Preamp is an all discrete high grade op amp design that delivers a clean, accurate and detailed translation of your source.
Now that’s quiet
With a noise floor 30,000 times quieter than the signal level your recordings will be captured with stunning clarity.
That’s the same fully analogue and discrete mic preamp circuit design found in our renowned recording console the ASP8024-HE. No emulations, no copies, just real analogue console mic preamps on your desktop.
Advanced 32-bit Converter Technology
Next-level performance
Utilising 32-bit ESS DAC converter technology to minimise quality loss and maximise performance during conversion, iD48 makes sure your audio sounds cleaner, clearer and more precise than ever. And with 126.5dB of dynamic range, you will hear subtle details better and identify problematic issues faster – making getting release ready results easy.

Expand and conquer
Make short work of the most demanding sessions and future proof your studio with iD48’s optical input and output connections. Supporting both ADAT and SPDIF, iD48 lets you boost your I/O by adding up to 16 channels of external mic preamps to your setup.
Built for outboard
Utilising Dsub connections, iD48 provides eight fully balanced inserts letting you integrate your favourite outboard FX prior to conversion – giving you the cleanest signal path possible. Perfect for stem mixing and print-backs.
Switch it up
And for the first time ever, iD48’s Switchable insert routing enables you to select which source is feeding the ADC path. Letting you choose whether to send the Audient Mic Preamp or a DAW output to your outboard on a per channel basis and all without having to plug or unplug cables.
Track with an external preamp
Plus, for users wanting to record external analogue mic preamps, iD48’s Returns let you bypass the Audient mic preamp, giving you a super clean and direct conversion path for recording.
Make monitoring simple
iD48 not only excels as a powerful USB-C audio interface, but also provides everything you need to get studio-ready monitoring control.
Headphone Outputs
Confidently mix on headphones with either of iD48’s two engineer-grade and independent stereo headphone amps, providing 124dB dynamic range and enough power to support headphones up to 600Ohms.
Speaker Outputs
Connect, listen and reference your mixes through Main and Alt speaker outputs. Alternatively use the extra line outputs to send audio to an external headphone amp for distribution to your artists.
Talkback
Take advantage of iD48’s innovative talkback technology, letting you use a USB microphone or your computer’s built-in mic as a dedicated talkback mic – freeing up valuable mic preamps for recording.
User Defined Monitor Control
Configurable function buttons let you assign any of iD48’s powerful monitoring capabilities, such as Speaker Select, Dim or Mono Sum to the two dedicated hardware Function Buttons.
Software Mixer
A mixer that makes sense
Optimised for speed, the iD Mixer is your productivity’s best friend. Quickly set up ultra-low latency direct monitoring, create up to four stereo cue mixes, save layout presets and quickly setup advanced routing – all from one easy to use app.
JFET Instrument Inputs
Plug and play
Designed to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, iD48’s two harmonically rich JFET Instrument Inputs gives you the perfect sonic foundation for your guitars or basses before you hit your amp sims.
Looks good, feels good
At just over 44cm wide, an all-metal construction and with detachable rack ears*, iD48 is designed to survive everyday use, whether in the studio or up against the wear and tear of travel. Stable, reliable and ready to go.
