Audient iD2 MK3 10-in/6-out USB Audio Interface

The Audient iD2 MK3 10-in/6-out USB Audio Interface is designed for home producers expanding their recording setups with additional inputs and monitoring options. Featuring two Audient Console Mic Preamps with 75dB of clean gain, it provides detailed recordings, while eight channels of ADAT expansion let you accommodate more instruments and microphones as your studio grows.

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 stereo monitor outputs, and USB-C bus power, the iD2 MK3 keeps your recording setup flexible.

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 iD2 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 preamps. 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. Meanwhile, 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.

Expand your recording possibilities

The iD2 MK3 combines two Audient Console Mic Preamps with eight channels of ADAT input expansion, giving you room to develop your recording setup. Based on the discrete Class-A design found in Audient's ASP8024-HE console, each microphone preamp provides 75dB of clean gain. A dedicated JFET Instrument Input also accommodates guitar and bass recordings.

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 iD2 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. Two stereo monitor outputs accommodate multiple speaker connections, while an assignable function button provides convenient hardware monitoring control.

Dual 6.3mm and 3.5mm headphone outputs support different headphone connections. 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.
