Audient iD48 24×32 I/O USB Audio Interface

Level up your studio with the Audient iD48, a flagship 24×32 I/O USB audio interface built for producers and engineers who demand uncompromising sound quality, flexibility, and control. Designed to handle everything from full-band tracking to detailed mixing and hybrid workflows, iD48 combines console-grade analog design with modern digital performance. The result is pristine clarity, musical warmth, and a workflow that scales with your studio.

Real Analog Mic Preamps

At the front end of iD48 are eight Audient Console mic preamps, delivering up to 68 dB of gain with ultra-low noise and distortion. These fully discrete Class-A analog circuits are based on the same design used in Audient’s renowned ASP8024-HE recording console. There are no emulations or digital shortcuts here. Just authentic analog tone that captures every nuance of vocals, instruments, and ensembles with natural depth and detail.

Advanced Converter Technology

Once your signal enters iD48, it is handled by 32-bit ESS DAC converter technology, delivering exceptional transparency and precision. With an impressive 126.5 dB dynamic range, subtle transients, spatial detail, and low-level information remain intact throughout the conversion process. This accuracy makes it easier to identify issues quickly and deliver polished, release-ready mixes with confidence.

Built-In Digital Expansion

For larger sessions, iD48 offers extensive digital I/O via dual ADAT and S/PDIF connections, allowing you to add up to 16 additional input channels using external mic preamps or converters. Whether recording drums, orchestral setups, or multi-musician sessions, iD48 ensures your system can expand as your studio grows.

Switchable Analog Inserts and Flexible Monitoring

iD48 features eight switchable balanced analog inserts, giving you seamless access to your favorite outboard processors such as compressors and EQs before conversion. Each insert can be routed from either the mic preamp or DAW output on a per-channel basis, making iD48 equally powerful for tracking, mixing, and re-amping workflows.

The comprehensive monitoring section includes main and alternate speaker outputs, dual independent headphone amplifiers, talkback, and user-assignable function buttons. Combined with ScrollControl and ultra-low-latency software mixing, iD48 puts complete control of your studio environment right at your fingertips.
