Audient has unveiled the third generation of its iD audio interface range, consolidating four models into a single engineering platform built on the company’s Analogue Intelligence technology, according to a MusicTech report.
The lineup renames existing interfaces to reflect preamp counts: the iD1 (formerly iD4) offers 2-in/2-out connectivity with one mic preamp, the iD2 (formerly iD14) provides 10-in/6-out with two preamps, the iD2+ (formerly iD24) delivers 10-in/14-out, and the flagship iD4+ (formerly iD44) supports 20-in/24-out with four preamps, two JFET instrument inputs and 16 channels of ADAT.
Each interface features Audient’s Console Mic Preamps with 75dB of clean gain, matching the design of the brand’s ASP8024-HE recording console. Onboard DSP handles level setting, room correction and effects, while the Analogue Tone Suite provides four tonal shaping tools before the signal reaches the DAW. The iD2+ and iD4+ include RoomTune monitor correction, which requires the RM1 Reference Microphone sold separately for the iD1 and iD2.
Andrew Allen, Audient’s chief product officer, said the range is built around real analogue preamps, built-in RoomTune, onboard DSP FX and a discrete Analogue Tone Suite, describing it as a completely new technology platform rather than a spec refresh.
The iD2, iD2+ and iD4+ are currently available, while the iD1 arrives in early 2027. Pricing runs from £169 for the iD1 to £499 for the iD4+, with the RM1 microphone at £39.99.
