AUDIENT ID44 MKII

Audient iD44 MKII is a professional audio interface featuring 4 Class A console mic preamps, 3 headphone outputs with dual headphone amp, 2 JFET instrument inputs, Audio Loop-back function, 4 line outputs, and 3 assignable hardware function buttons.

This is the second generation of Audient's flagship interface, now equipped with upgraded AD converters, new features, and a sleek smoke-gray metal chassis. The THD+N performance of the AD converters has been improved by 9 dB, offering cleaner recordings with lower noise and distortion.

One of the standout features is the built-in Audio Loop-back, allowing users to capture playback from multiple software sources on their computer alongside microphone inputs. It’s an ideal solution for content creators, streamers, and podcasters.

The dual headphone amp now includes two 1/4” outputs and an additional 1/8” mini-jack, enabling simultaneous monitoring on three pairs of headphones. The rugged all-metal chassis ensures durability for professional studio or mobile use.

iD44 MKII features Audient's renowned Class A console mic preamps — the same discrete circuit found in the ASP8024-HE console — delivering ultra-low noise and harmonic warmth. Paired with top-tier AD/DA conversion offering up to 126 dB dynamic range, the interface captures every nuance of your recordings with clarity and precision.

Two optical input/output ports (ADAT/SPDIF) allow you to expand the setup with up to 16 additional preamp channels. The insert returns give you direct access to high-grade AD conversion, making the unit ideal for external hardware signal chains.

The 2 JFET instrument inputs are designed to preserve the character of electric guitars and basses. Four line outputs allow monitoring through two speaker pairs. The software mixer provides ultra-low latency direct monitoring, four stereo mixes, channel naming, preset saving, and full control over hardware integration.

Talkback, Dim, and Cut controls, along with three assignable F-buttons, help streamline your workflow. You can also use the main volume knob as a virtual scroll wheel. The package includes a comprehensive software bundle with Cubase LE, Cubasis LE for iOS, and a selection of plugins and virtual instruments.
