Instrument Input
iD48 employs a discrete Class-A JFET
instrument (D.I) input on channels one and
two 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 either
channel 1 or channel 2 into a fully-fledged,
fantastic-sounding instrument input.

Microphone Preamplifiers
& Line Inputs
iD48 features 8 Audient Console microphone
preamplifiers. These preamps
are based on the circuits found on Audient’s
classic consoles and are the same that are
used across our entire ‘iD Interface Range’.
The design features discrete Class-A circuitry
providing exceedingly low distortion and
noise performance. From a sonic point of
view, iD48 is fast, open and detailed.
Amphenol TM XLR/TRS Jack combi-
connectors provide microphone and line
inputs. The line inputs are padded by -10dB
before passing through the microphone
preamplifiers to minimise clipping on line-
level signals
The microphone preamplifiers feature:
• 58 dB of clean gain
• >2.8kΩ input impedance which provides
a punchy tone from any microphone
transducer type
