iD2

Audient iD2 is a 10-in / 6-out USB-C desktop audio interface for musicians, producers and project studios that need two onboard recording channels and room to expand. Its two Audient Console Mic Preamps provide up to 75 dB of clean gain, while a front-panel JFET instrument input gives guitarists and bassists a direct recording path. The Analogue Tone Suite shapes signals before conversion, and onboard DSP provides EQ, compression and reverb. An optical input can add up to eight channels via ADAT, while two stereo speaker outputs let you compare mixes on a second monitor pair. Built-in RoomTune™ Monitor Correction uses the separately available RM1™ Reference Microphone to measure your speaker setup.

Creative Tools

• Record two microphone sources at once, such as a vocal and an acoustic guitar or a stereo pair on a piano. Use Smartgain to set input levels while the performers play their loudest passage.
• Connect an electric guitar or bass to the JFET input and record a direct signal. Audition different amp simulations as the arrangement develops without having to record the performance again.
• Shape the microphone signal before conversion with the Analogue Tone Suite. Use HMX for saturation, LIFT to brighten the sound, GLOW to combine the two or ORBIT to explore how input impedance changes the microphone’s response.
• Apply onboard EQ or compression to the mic/line inputs at sample rates up to 96 kHz. Add reverb to the headphone mix when a performer wants to hear some space while tracking.
• Connect a compatible external preamp or converter via ADAT when a session needs more inputs. This lets you move from two-microphone recording to a drum kit or small ensemble while keeping the same desktop interface.
• Switch between main and alternate speakers to check how vocal balance, bass levels and stereo effects translate. Measure each pair with RoomTune™ and the separately available RM1™ microphone to apply a correction profile suited to that pair.
• Use audio loopback to capture computer playback alongside live inputs. Bring a remote guest into a podcast, record a software demonstration or include a backing track in a livestream.
• Recall input gain, tone and routing settings in iD Control when returning to a session. Use monitor functions such as mono, dim and reference level to check playback without changing the mix in your DAW.

Ideal For

• Home and project studio producers
• Musicians recording two sources at the same time
• Guitarists and bassists working with amp simulation software
• Studios that want to add recording channels via ADAT
• Mix engineers who compare playback on two speaker pairs
• Podcasters and livestreamers who need computer audio loopback
