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 Inserts & Returns
On Channels 1 and 2, the iD44 features a
dedicated insert allowing 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
balanced return, all before the AD converters.
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.
