Instrument Input
iD24 employs a discrete class-a JFET
instrument (D.I) input on channel one which
is easily accessible on the front of the unit.
The JFET circuitry adds a tiny bit of colour
and harmonics to the signal, making it sound
great on guitars and basses.
Plugging in a TS (tip-sleeve unbalanced) jack
will override the mic signal and turn channel
one into a fully-fledged, fantastic-sounding
instrument input.
Phantom Power Switch
There is an independent phantom power
switch for each microphone channel. This
provides full phantom power (48V ±4v, 10mA
per channel) to the microphone connected to
this channel.
Please note that the iD24 will only send
phantom power to XLR connections, the TRS
line inputs will not receive phantom power.
-10dB Pad
Both inputs feature a switchable hardware
-10dB pad to help lower signal level when
recording particularly hot sources such as
drums.
