Microphone Preamplifiers
& Line Inputs
iD44 features four classic Audient
microphone preamplifiers. These
preamps are based on designs from
Audient’s classic consoles and are the
same that are used across our entire
product range.
The design features discrete Class-A
circuitry providing exceedingly low
distortion and noise performance. From
a sonic point of view, iD44 is fast, open
and detailed.

XLR/TRS Jack combi-
connectors provide microphone and
line inputs. The line inputs are padded
through the microphone preamplfiiers.
The four microphone preamplifiers
feature:
• 60 dB of clean gain
• 48V (±4V) phantom power rated at
14mA/channel
• >2.8kΩ input impedance which
provides a punchy tone from any
microphone transducer type
• Signal and Clip Indicators
• -10dB Pad
• 100Hz High Pass Filter to remove
unwanted rumble
Channels 1 and 2 also include an
Insert Send and Return allowing for
the use of outboard equipment while
tracking.
Instrument Input
iD44 employs 2 discrete Class-A JFET
instrument (D.I) inputs on channels one
and two which are easily accessible on
the front of the unit.
The JFET circuitry adds a tiny bit of colour
and warmth to the signal, making it sound
great on guitars and basses.
Plugging in a TS (tip-sleeve unbalanced)
jack will override the mic signal for that
channel and turn it into a fully fledged,
fantastic sounding instrument input with
access to the Pad and High Pass Filters.
Balanced Insert Send and Returns
On Chennels 1 and 2, the iD44 features a
dedicated insert to allow you to connect
outboard gear to your recording chain;
Just like the work flow you would find on
an Audient console!
The two channels feature an impedance
balanced send and an electronically
balanaced return, all before the AD
convertors.
Insert your favourite EQ and compressor
into the insert and with the super clean
audient pre-amps, you can build vocal
chains that will rival the best out there!
Insert Normalling
The Insert send and return jacks are half
normalled meaning you don’t need to
patch the two together when not in use.
The internal signal chain is only broken
when a jack is plugged into the return.
Plugging a jack into the Insert send will
split the signal which can be useful for
parallel processing.
