Real Analogue Mic Preamps
Level-up your recordings with the Audient Console Mic Preamp. Delivering 68dB gain, ultra- low noise and low distortion with a touch of classic analogue warmth. iD48’s eight Audient Console mic preamps make sure you capture a clean, accurate and true to source translation of your audio. That’s the same fully analogue and discrete mic preamp circuit design found in our renowned recording console the ASP8024-HE. No emulations, no copies, just real analogue console mic preamps on your desktop.

Next-level Audio Performance
Utilising 32-bit ESS DAC converter technology to minimise 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.

Expand your Studio
Make 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.

Built for outboard integration
Utilising 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.

Plus, for users wanting to record external analogue mic preamps, iD48’s Returns let you bypass the Audient Mic Preamp, giving you a super clean and direct conversion path for recording.
