Next-level Audio Performance

32-bit Converter TechnologyUtilising 32-bit ESS DAC converter technology to reduce quality loss and maximise performance during conversion, iD48 makes sure your audio sounds cleaner, clearer and more precise than ever. And with 126.5dB of dynamic range, you will hear subtle details better and identify problematic issues faster - making getting release ready results easy.
Add more channels with Digital I/OMake short work of the most demanding sessions and future proof your studio with iD48’s optical input and output connections. Supporting both ADAT and SPDIF, iD48 lets you boost your I/O by adding up to 16 channels of external mic preamps to your setup.
Advanced Monitoring ControliD48 not only excels as a powerful USB-C audio interface, but also gives you everything you need to get studio-ready monitoring control.
Speaker OutputsConnect, listen and reference your mixes through Main and Alt speaker outputs. Alternatively use the extra line outputs to send audio to an external headphone amp for distribution to your artists.
Headphone OutputsConfidently mix on headphones with two engineer-grade, fully independent stereo headphone amps, providing 124dB dynamic range and enough power to support headphones up to 600Ohms.
User Defined Monitor ControlConfigurable function buttons let you assign any of iD48’s powerful monitoring capabilities, such as Speaker Select, Dim or Mono Sum to the two dedicated hardware Function Buttons.
TalkbackTake advantage of iD48’s innovative talkback technology, letting you use a USB microphone or your computer's built-in mic as a dedicated talkback mic - freeing up valuable mic preamps for recording.
iD Software MixerOptimised for speed, the iD Mixer is your productivity's best friend. Quickly set up ultra-low latency direct monitoring, create up to four stereo cue mixes, save layout presets and quickly setup advanced routing - all from one easy to use app.
JFET Instrument InputsDesigned to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, iD48’s two harmonically rich JFET Instrument Inputs gives you the perfect sonic foundation for your guitars or basses before you hit your amp sims.
Looks good, feels goodAt just over 44cm wide, an all-metal construction and with detachable rack ears, iD48 is designed to survive everyday use, whether in the studio or up against the wear and tear of travel. Stable, reliable and ready to go.
Whisper quietA fanless design means iD48 provides near total silence no matter what you throw at it. Perfect for any studio environment.
Free Software with ARCBundled with a free suite of creative software including Cubase LE, alongside industry leading plugins and virtual instruments, you can start recording as soon as you open the box.
Built for Outboard Integration

8 x Switchable Analogue InsertsUtilising Dsub connections, iD48 provides eight fully balanced inserts letting you integrate your favourite outboard FX prior to conversion - giving you the cleanest signal path possible. Perfect for stem mixing and print-backs. And for the first time ever, iD48’s Switchable insert routing enables you to select which source is feeding the ADC path. Letting you choose whether to send the Audient Mic Preamp or DAW outputs to your outboard on a per channel basis and all without having to plug or unplug cables.
