World Class Mic Preamp
Audient tell us that they are the only company that use the same Class-A mic pre design throughout our entire product range, from the smallest interface to the largest analog console its the same mic preamp.
The Audient ScrollControl
The Audient iD4 also has the AudioScroll Control feature. With a touch of a button iD4’s volume encoder it becomes a virtual scroll wheel, enabling you to adjust DAW hosts, plug-in parameters and even scroll through your iTunes library - just like you’re adjusting a piece of hardware. Wherever your mouse pointer hovers, the iD knob can scroll to control. When you are not using ScrollControl, pressing iD4’s volume encoder activates DIM, enabling you to quickly reduce the playback volume.
Di Input
iD4 has a JFET D.I input. They have designed this to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, so you can plug your guitar, bass, keyboard or drum machine straight in and start recording instantly.
Monitor Pan
When you want to record an acoustic guitar and vocal, for example the iD4’s Monitor Pan feature enables you to pan both the mic pre input and D.I input from left to right, making it easy for you to create a balanced headphone mix that suits you. You can plug in, set up a headphone mix and starting tracking very quickly making the Audient iD4 a great solution for singer songwriters & producers on the go.
Monitor Mix
The Audient iD4’s Monitor Mix feature lets you monitor a blend of both iD4’s inputs and your DAW playback, providing near zero latency monitoring while recording allowing you to quickly blend in your DAW playback and start recording along to your multitrack.
Dual Headphone Outputs
The Audient iD4 features a dual headphone output. You can plug in two sets of headphones, and the dual headphone output also has both a jack and mini jack output.
