Audient iD2

Audient iD2 - Desktop Audio Interface

The Audient iD2 is a 10-in / 6-out USB-C desktop audio interface with two Audient Console Mic Preamps, RoomTune™ monitor correction, analogue tone shaping, onboard DSP effects and 32-bit conversion for professional recording and mixing.

Building on the iD14’s compact recording format, the iD2 combines familiar instrument connectivity, ADAT expansion and hardware monitor control with Audient Analogue Intelligence. Its expanded processing capabilities bring gain management, creative sound shaping and speaker correction into a single desktop interface.

Audient Console Mic Preamps and Smartgain

Two Audient Console Mic Preamps deliver up to 75 dB of clean gain, supporting quiet sources and microphones with low output levels. Smartgain automates input gain setting, helping engineers establish suitable recording levels quickly and concentrate on the performance.

Analogue Tone Suite

The Analogue Tone Suite shapes the microphone signal during recording through four complementary treatments. HMX introduces harmonic warmth through a discrete MOSFET circuit, while LIFT adds sheen. GLOW combines HMX and LIFT, bringing warmth and brightness together for a polished starting point.

ORBIT offers three microphone voicings: Punch, Smooth and Vintage. These options provide different tonal characters, extending the preamps’ flexibility across vocals, acoustic instruments and other microphone sources.

Built-in RoomTune Monitor Correction

RoomTune™ monitor correction compensates for the room’s influence on speaker playback, helping engineers assess tonal balance and make more reliable mix decisions. The correction runs directly on the iD2 hardware without plug-ins or host CPU processing.

RoomTune calibration requires a separate purchase of the Audient RM1™ Reference Microphone.

Hardware-Accelerated DSP Effects

Onboard hardware-accelerated DSP provides EQ, compression and reverb for zero-latency effects monitoring through the interface. EQ shapes frequency balance, compression controls dynamics, and reverb adds space to the monitor mix, helping performers record with a more comfortable listening balance.

32-bit Conversion and 192 kHz Operation

The iD2 combines 32-bit conversion with a 128 dB dynamic range to support detailed audio reproduction and critical listening. Sample-rate support up to 192 kHz accommodates high-resolution recording workflows.

JFET Instrument Input and ADAT Expansion

A JFET instrument input accepts guitar and bass signals directly, providing a dedicated connection for DI recording and amp-simulation workflows.

The ADAT input accepts up to eight additional channels from compatible external preamps or converters, extending the interface to its maximum 10-input configuration. This expansion accommodates larger microphone setups as recording requirements grow.

Flexible Monitoring and Headphone Connections

Two stereo monitor output pairs accommodate two sets of studio speakers for mix referencing. An assignable function button provides hardware access to monitor control, keeping common listening adjustments within reach.

The headphone section offers both 6.3 mm and 3.5 mm sockets, accommodating the two common headphone plug formats.

USB-C Bus Power and Computer Compatibility

A single USB-C connection carries audio and supplies bus power, simplifying cabling in desktop and portable recording setups. The compact interface supports Mac and Windows, providing a practical recording and monitoring centre for either platform.
