ADC Direct
When using the ‘ADC Direct’ Setting, the ADC for this channel is fed from the Insert Return/
ADC Input DB25 port, providing you a way to input audio whilst bypassing the iD48’s built in
Audient Console Mic Preamps for the cleanest signal path to the ADCs possible.
One use case of this would be if you wish to use an external analog preamp or wish to feed in
a line level signal without passing it through iD48’s preamps.
It is important to note that when in this mode, the signal from the Mic/Line input is not accessible.
This setting can also be used if you wish to utilise hardware eects whilst Mixing in your DAW
software.
The Line Output/Insert Send DB25 Port in this mode is fed from the DAC, rather than from the
built in Audient Console Mic Preamp, and provides additional line outputs just like on the ‘Mic’
ADC Path setting.
