The Audient iD1 MK3 2in/4out USB Audio Interface is designed for solo musicians, singer-songwriters, and producers recording music in compact home studios. Featuring an Audient Console Mic Preamp with 75dB of clean gain and a dedicated JFET Instrument Input, it lets you record vocals and guitar simultaneously without compromising either signal.
Built-in RoomTune Monitor Correction helps you make more informed mixing decisions by compensating for your room's acoustic characteristics. It runs directly on the interface's hardware, leaving your computer's processing power available for recording and production. An RM1 Reference Microphone is required for calibration and sold separately.
For more creative control, the Analogue Tone Suite lets you shape your recordings before they reach your DAW, while onboard DSP provides zero-latency EQ, compression, and reverb. With 32-bit conversion, dual headphone outputs, and USB-C bus power, the iD1 MK3 keeps your recording setup straightforward.
Hear your mixes without room interference
Your room can affect how you hear your recordings, making it difficult to judge tonal balance accurately. RoomTune Monitor Correction addresses this by adjusting your speaker monitoring to compensate for the acoustic characteristics of your space. Running through the iD1 MK3's onboard DSP, it requires no additional plugins or computer processing power.
Better still, correction works across your computer's audio applications, not just your DAW. This helps you make consistent mixing decisions when listening to music or working on projects. RoomTune currently supports stereo speaker correction and requires an RM1 Reference Microphone, available separately.
Shape your sound before recording
The Analogue Tone Suite gives you several ways to adjust your sound directly through the microphone preamp. HMX uses a discrete MOSFET circuit to introduce harmonic saturation, adding body to guitars, drums, and other sources. AIR enhances high frequencies for additional clarity and sheen, while GLOW combines both processes for a fuller, brighter recording. ORBIT adjusts microphone impedance to change how your mic interacts with the preamp. Its Punch, Smooth, and Vintage voicings provide different tonal characteristics. These controls help you capture your preferred sound at the source, reducing the need for corrective processing later.
Capture vocals and instruments together
Recording yourself becomes easier when you can capture multiple sources at once. The iD1 MK3 combines an Audient Console Mic Preamp with a dedicated JFET Instrument Input, allowing you to record vocals and guitar simultaneously. Based on the discrete Class-A design found in Audient's ASP8024-HE console, the microphone preamp provides 75dB of clean gain.
Smartgain helps establish suitable recording levels, while digitally recallable analogue settings make returning to previous sessions more convenient. With 32-bit conversion and 128dB dynamic range, you can capture detailed performances while maintaining control over your input signals.
Keep your recording workflow simple
The iD1 MK3 brings essential recording and monitoring controls together in a compact desktop design. Hardware-accelerated DSP provides zero-latency EQ, compression, and reverb, helping you monitor processed audio while performing. A dedicated Direct Monitor button and input-to-DAW balance control let you adjust what you hear during recording.
Dual 6.3mm and 3.5mm headphone outputs accommodate different headphone connections, while stereo monitor outputs connect your speakers. The sloped control panel, stepped metal encoder, and illuminated metering make adjustments straightforward. USB-C bus power removes the need for an external power adapter, with Mac and Windows compatibility supporting sample rates up to 192kHz.
