Audient has announced the launch of the new iD44 (MKII) desktop audio interface, offering a stated 9 dB of improvement in THD+N for the unit’s ADCs as well as several other additions.
“As far as audio performance was concerned, iD44 was already fully spec’d,” says Audient marketing director Andy Allen. “Yet we saw an opportunity to make the best better, making a major improvement to the all important ADC’s, incorporating additional must-have features and styling it with a beautiful new smoke-grey finish. All at the same price, delivering yet more value to our customers.”
iD44 (MKII) now also includes Audio Loop-back to provide users with the ability to capture playback from multiple applications on the computer at the same time as the microphones. Further, the incorporation of a dual headphone amp, including both a 1/4-inch jack and a mini-jack, means three sets of headphones can be plugged in at once. And, a makeover of the unit’s all-metal aesthetic completes the upgrades.
Andy adds, “The combination of these enhancements alongside four Audient Console mic preamps, class-leading converters, ADAT expandability and balanced inserts means iD44 (MKII) really does deliver the audio performance of an Audient console straight to your desktop, and ensures with iD44, our customers get a professional grade audio interface without breaking the bank.”
iD44 (MKII) is expected to ship in June 2022 and will retail at the same price as its predecessor: £499.99 inc VAT, €599 inc Local VAT and $699 U.S. MAP.
