Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Audient’s iD48 is a USB audio interface for studio setups that need substantial analogue I/O, digital expansion, and monitoring control in one rack-ready unit. Eight Class-A Audient console mic preamps and two discrete JFET instrument inputs cover the front end, while two ADAT input/output pairs and word-clock I/O support a larger system. Eight switchable balanced inserts can route either mic-preamp or DAW outputs through outboard processing. Main and alternate speaker outputs, two independent headphone outputs, talkback, and standalone mode keep tracking and mix workflows organized.
