The flagship has arrived, and it's everything serious producers and engineers have been waiting for. The Audient iD48 packs eight genuine Audient Console Mic Preamps, advanced 32-bit ESS converter technology, and the brand-new Switchable Analogue Insert system into one powerful USB-C audio interface. It's built for people who care about clean signal paths, flexible routing, and audio that translates honestly.
Whether you're tracking a full band, mixing with outboard gear, or running a busy commercial studio, the iD48 brings pro-grade performance to your desktop without the console-sized footprint.
Genuine Analogue Mic Preamps
The iD48 delivers an authentic sound. Each of its eight Audient Console Mic Preamps features the same fully analog, discrete circuit design found in the renowned ASP8024-HE recording console. You get true-to-source recordings with a touch of classic warmth every time, without emulations or shortcuts.
8 Audient Console Mic Preamps: Capture clean, accurate audio with the same preamp design trusted in professional recording consoles.
68dB of Gain: Plenty of headroom for ribbon mics, dynamics, and quiet sources, all with ultra-low noise.
Low Noise, Low Distortion: Get a clear, honest translation of your performance with a hint of analogue character.
Next-Level Conversion and Expandable I/O
Sound quality lives and dies at the converter stage, and the iD48 delivers. Its advanced 32-bit ESS DAC technology keeps your audio clean and precise, while a generous 126.5dB of dynamic range helps you catch subtle details and spot problems faster. When your sessions grow, the optical I/O grows with you.
Advanced 32-bit ESS Converters: Minimize quality loss and hear your mixes cleaner, clearer, and more precise.
ADAT & SPDIF Expansion: Add up to 16 channels of external preamps to future-proof your studio.
126.5dB Dynamic Range: Pick out fine details and get release-ready results with confidence.
Built for Outboard and Flexible Monitoring
The iD48 truly stands out with its integration capabilities. Its eight switchable analog inserts allow you to patch in your favorite hardware effects before conversion. For the first time, you can choose whether the mic preamp or DAW output feeds your outboard gear on a per-channel basis — no re-patching needed. Combined with advanced monitor control and dual headphone amps, the iD48 becomes a complete command center for your studio.
8 Switchable Analog Inserts: Integrate outboard FX for stem mixing and print-backs with the cleanest possible signal path.
Advanced Monitor Control: Manage Main and Alt speakers, talkback, and user-defined function keys from one spot.
