The B-Stock Audient iD44 MKII is a professional 20x24 USB audio interface engineered to bring large-format console performance directly to your desktop. As a B-Stock unit, it guarantees absolute technical integrity and uncompromising audio specifications at a reduced price point. Equipped with four Class-A console microphone preamps and significantly upgraded AD/DA converters boasting a 126 dB dynamic range, this interface delivers massive headroom and pristine clarity essential for critical studio tracking and mixing.
Seamless Outboard Gear Integration
Incorporating analog compressors and EQs into a desktop recording workflow can often introduce unwanted signal degradation or complex routing hurdles. The iD44 MKII mitigates this by featuring two fully balanced insert points on channels one and two. These allow tracking engineers to patch their favorite outboard processors directly into the signal path immediately before the A/D conversion stage, ensuring an unadulterated signal flow that maximizes the character of your external analog hardware.
Advanced Routing with Audio Loopback
Broadcasters, podcasters, and content creators frequently struggle with routing computer audio, VoIP calls, and DAW playback simultaneously without inducing feedback loops. The built-in hardware Audio Loopback function elegantly solves this problem. Controlled via the intuitive iD Mixer software, users can rapidly configure multiple virtual audio sources and send dedicated, low-latency mixes directly to their streaming software or guest headphones, ensuring rock-solid stability during critical live broadcasts.
