HOW DOES IT SOUND?

Designed by David Dearden

Over 20 years ago

Pristine Converter Technology

Brilliance on the inside enables brilliance on the outside

iD22 provides you with high performance AD-DA converters from Burr Brown, the leaders in converter technology. Quality in the analogue stages of design comes from years of experience as analogue console designers, and when coupled with outstanding converter technology it enables you to hear audio as it’s supposed to sound. The importance of converters should never be underestimated. Experience audio the Audient way.

Expand

Grows with your needs

iD22 is more than just a two in, six out interface. As your system grows iD22 can be expanded via the optical input and output connectors, supporting both ADAT and SPDIF. If you need to track drums or simply need more inputs you can expand up to ten inputs via an eight-channel mic pre such as our ASP880.

Balanced Inserts

Integrate your outboard

Two fully balanced insert points enable you to bring your outboard gear in from the cold and prior to conversion. Insert your favourite compressors or EQs and start creating vocal chains that rival the very best. The insert return also gives you direct access to the analogue to digital converters - providing the cleanest signal path possible, making it great for print-backs or integrating outboard line level sources.

Plug And Play

Plug in and be inspired

As well as offering you 2 channels of mic pre, iD22 has a harmonically rich JFET D.I input. Designed to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, you can plug your guitar, bass, keyboard or drum machine straight in and start recording instantly

JFET D.I

Replicates classic valve amp tones

Perfect for guitars, synths and bass

Listen

You can't unhear quality

During iD22's development we discussed ways in which we could showcase iD22's versatility in a variety of genres. We were so confident you could make a release quality recording with iD22 we decided to get out in the field and record three different artists varying in style. Listen to the result for yourself...

 

 

 

 

 

 

"IT DOES ALL I NEED, TWO GREAT PREAMPS, A GOOD HEADPHONE PREAMP AND A SIMPLE INTERFACE. YOU CAN CAPTURE RECORDINGS AT A HIGH STANDARD IN A VERY SIMPLE SETUP."

Console Style Monitor Control

Customise your control surface

iD22 has a range of incredibly flexible console style monitor control functions such as mono, polarity, dim, cut, speaker select, talkback & cue mix monitoring. We know how important it is to focus on the music and to make tracking as simple as possible we added three programmable function keys. No more time spent searching for software controlled features, just assign the monitoring functions you need to the three hardware function keys and allow the creativity to flow. Real hardware control at your fingertips!

Talkback Control

Intuitive software

Software you can rely on

We understand the need to keep things simple and iD22’s mixer app was designed with that in mind. Whether you’re creating low latency cue mixes or utilising the flexible monitor control, iD22 tightly integrates the hardware and software making the recording process easy. Enabling you to concentrate on what’s really important - the music.

Talkback

Communication is Key

iD22’s new dedicated talkback technology enables you to utilise any audio source connected to your computer such as a built in or USB microphone as your talkback mic, freeing up valuable mic pres while offering an effective talkback solution no matter where you are..

Built To Last

Quality deserves protection

iD22 has been designed to last, from its all-metal construction, hand finished aluminium knobs and high grade component selection, iD22 will stand up to countless late nights in the studio and days on the road.
