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 iD22, 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
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.
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.
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
Simply 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
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
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.
Intuitive Software
Discover just how simple it can be
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.
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.
