British manufacturer Audient raises the stakes once
again with the release of its latest, and to date most powerful desktop audio
interface, iD44, further cementing itself as a leading brand in the
audio interface market.

iD44 maintains a level of quality now
expected from Audient, a company that strives to make professional gear
available to a broader spectrum of creatives. Four Audient Class-A console mic
pres offering 60 db of gain, all new class-leading converter technology, options
for digital expansion, new intuitive, mix-focussed software specifically
designed for ease of use when managing large sessions, an impressive potential
I/O of 20in / 24out and an all-metal build,providing the basis of the
complete recording studio.

“iD44 is the natural expansion of Audient’s
high performance audio interface range, building on award-winning features;
utilising high grade components and adding innovative, new enhancements
inspired by listening to our customers’ feedback,” says Andy Allen, Audient’s
marketing manager.

“As with our smaller interfaces, the mic pres
are the exactly the same as those you find in our large format recording
consoles, making us the only company to use the same discrete Class-A mic pre
throughout our entire product range. iD44 continues to deliver real analogue
heritage right to our customers’ desktops.”

The ADAT inputs and outputs give the user
flexibility to grow their studio, enabling the addition of up to 16 extra
channels of mic pres – ideal for bigger sessions such as tracking a live band
or mic-ing up a drum kit. “iD44 is the perfect long-term investment for those
wanting to build up their setup over time,” continues Andy.

Channels 1 & 2 also feature two fully
balanced insert points. “Add your favourite compressor, reverb or EQ while
recording, or get direct access to the analogue digital converters for
unlimited creative options, such as print-backs, FX processing or integrating
outboard analogue line level sources. iD44 really provides all the flexibility
the modern producer needs.”

Audient’s upcoming Windows drivers update
will also provide significant performance enhancements, allowing for reduced
buffer sizes and operation at lower latency, giving customers reliable software
as well as hardware. “What you get for your money in terms of feature set and
quality is unrivalled in today’s market,” affirms Andy.
