Audient iD14 MKII|Studio-Grade 10-in/6-out USB-C Audio Interface
Condensing the Powerful Core of a Large Studio onto Your Desktop
The Audient iD14 MKII is a high-performance USB-C audio interface designed for professional music producers and home studio musicians. It is equipped with two Class A Mic Preamps of the same caliber as Audient's flagship recording console ASP8024-HE, and features ADAT expandability. It not only delivers a pure, warm, classic analog sound but also increases the total channel count to 10-in/6-out via optical input, sufficient for complex scenarios such as simultaneous band recording or drum miking.
Compared to compact audio interfaces in the same price range, the iD14 MKII's advantage lies in its unparalleled expandability and professional monitoring features. In addition to the acclaimed JFET DI Instrument Input, it provides four independent Analog Outputs, which can be used to connect two pairs of monitor speakers for A/B comparison. For creators pursuing excellent sound quality and wishing to reserve room for future studio upgrades, the iD14 MKII offers the perfect solution.
