Audient Console Mic Pres
The professional sound you deserve
We are the only company that use the same Class-A mic pre design throughout our entire product range, whether you’re in the studio with an Audient console or on the road with iD14, you’re always guaranteed the same world class Audient sound.
Mic Pre Technology
We take an insight into why our microphone preamplifier design has become so popular amongst so many professionals and hobbyists alike.
The Audient Mic Pre Guarantee
Over 20 years of design heritage at your fingertips
We are the only company that use the same Class-A mic pre design throughout our entire product range, whether you’re in the studio with an Audient console or on the road with iD4, you’re always guaranteed the same renowned Audient sound.
Evolution of the Audient Mic Pre
Quality begins with the first steps of design
Designed by David Dearden (of DDA & Advision Studios) back in 1997 the Audient mic pre is an all discrete high grade op amp design that delivers low noise, low distortion, and high common mode rejection at all gain levels…offering a faithful reproduction of the source with just enough colour to give the signal some character.
The Design Rationale
The quest for musical transparency
The microphone preamplifier has historically been the most difficult circuit block to design and also the block where designers have striven to express their individuality. David Dearden has always been on a quest for musical transparency and below he outlines his design.
Pristine Converter Technology
Brilliance on the inside enables brilliance on the outside
iD14 provides you with high performance AD-DA converters. 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.
Converter Technology
High quality AD/DA converters are a vital factor in hearing what you’re recording or mixing accurately. We have chosen some of the best converters available to make sure all our products offer you stunning translation.
Plug and Play
Simply plug in and be inspired
iD14 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. Get professional quality recordings from the start and take your track to the next level.
Scroll Control
The virtual scroll wheel
Get hands on control of your software with iD14’s ScrollControl. With a touch of a button iD14’s volume encoder becomes a virtual scroll wheel that allows you to adjust DAW hosts, plug-in parameters, iD14’s mixer app and even scroll through your iTunes library – just like you’re adjusting a piece of hardware. Wherever your mouse pointer hovers, the iD knob can scroll to control.
Console Style Monitor Control
Customise your control surface
When not using the virtual scroll wheel, the iD button can be assigned to control iD14’s monitoring features. Following in the footsteps of it’s critically acclaimed big brother iD22, we’ve still included DIM, CUT, Polarity Reverse, Mono Sum, Talkback and Cue Mix monitoring, all of which can be assigned to the iD button.
Intuitive Software
Discover just how simple it can be
We understand the need to keep things simple and iD14’s mixer app was designed with that in mind. Whether you’re creating low latency cue mixes or utilising the flexible monitor control, iD14 tightly integrates the hardware and software making the recording process easy. Enabling you to concentrate on what’s really important – the music.
Built to Last
Quality Deserves Protection
iD14 has been designed to last, from its all-metal construction, hand finished aluminium knobs and high grade component selection, iD14 will stand up to countless late nights in the studio and days on the road.
