Audient iD2+ – Two Preamps, Studio Wiring

The iD2+ keeps the two-preamp layout of the iD2 and adds what a growing studio patches into: insert points on both mic channels, optical in and out, and a BNC word clock output. It replaces the iD24 in Audient's lineup and comes with the RM1 Reference Microphone in the box, so RoomTune monitor correction works on day one. At Soundium it is the iD we would pick for anyone with a compressor already on the shelf.

Key Features

• Two Audient Console Mic Preamps: 75 dB of clean gain each, with send and return inserts.
• 10-in / 14-out: Optical in and out add eight channels each way.
• BNC word clock output: Keeps external digital gear locked to the interface.
• RoomTune with RM1 included: Measure your room with the bundled mic, correct the speakers in DSP.
• Analogue Tone Suite: Orbit, HMX, LIFT and GLOW, recalled exactly with every session.
• Zero-latency DSP effects: Hardware-accelerated EQ, compression and reverb while tracking.

Customer Benefits

Inserts are the difference between owning outboard and using it. On the iD2+ a hardware compressor or EQ sits right after the preamp, before conversion, so it shapes the recording instead of being a re-amp job afterwards. Optical I/O and word clock let an ADAT preamp or converter join the rig cleanly. And because the RM1 is included, room correction is measured and running before the first session, not a later purchase.
