Every iD interface features the Audient Console Mic Preamp, the same discrete circuit design found in our renowned recording console the ASP8024-HE. Designed to deliver ultra- low noise and low distortion with a touch of classic analogue warmth, iD14’s two Audient mic pre’s will give you the professional sound you deserve.
How does it sound?
The Audient mic pre is a high grade hybrid discrete and op amp design that delivers a clean, accurate and detailed translation of your source.
Now that’s quiet
With a noise floor 30,000 times quieter than the signal level your recordings will be captured with stunning clarity.
Its all in the details
iD14’s converters make sure you hear every nuance, every detail of your audio, enabling you to take your recordings to the next level. Offering an incredible 126dB of dynamic range you will hear your audio more accurately, make better creative decisions and experience stunning clarity directly from your desktop.
Speaker Outputs
Be immersed
Connect and listen to your mixes through two sets of speakers with iD14’s four line outputs. Alternatively use the extra line outputs to send audio to an external headphone amp for distribution to your artists.
As part of the software mixer of iD14, you also have the ability to loop back audio so you can record or stream audio from different applications on your computer. To allow for lots of flexibility the iD mixer gives a number of sources for your loopback audio which can be adjusted in the iD menu:
The sources are as follows:
DAW 1+2 - Any audio being sent to outputs 1+2 of the iD14
DAW 3+4 - Any audio being sent to outputs 3+4 of the iD14
DAW 5+6 - Any audio being sent to outputs 5+6 of the iD14
Master Mix - The audio mix created in the iD mixer on the Main Mix panel
Cue A - The audio mix created in the iD mixer on the CUE A panel
Cue B - The audio mix created in the iD mixer on the CUE B panel
Using the Loop-back Mix
To record or stream your loop-back mix, simply select either Input 11+12 or Loopback 1+2 in your audio software.
Sending Audio to the DAW 3+4 and DAW 5+6 channels
Most DAW’s and audio software will allow you to select your audio output as part of the audio preferences or in a mixer. Again, for details on how to do this, check the manual or documentation for your software.
For applications that don’t give you this option however, you can simply adjust the system settings.
MacOS
To adjust your output channels, you’ll need to go to the Audio MIDI setup utility. This can be found by going to
Finder > Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
You should now see a list of audio devices currently connected to the Mac. Select the ID4, go to the Output panel and click “Configure Speakers”. Now set the Outputs to the channels you wish to send audio to.
Click Apply and now all audio will be sent to these channels in the iD mixer allowing you to setup a loop-back mix that is separate to your Main Output.
Windows
On WIndows you can simply change your output channel by going to the Sound settings in the Control Panel. Go to the Playback device list and select Output 3+4 or Output 5+6 as your Output Device.
