Audient launches iD MK3 desktop audio interface range

The iD2 MK3 is designed for home producers, with a 10-in / six-out interface with two Audient Console Mic Preamps, ADAT expansion for eight more inputs, and Pro Monitor Control with two speaker outputs.

The iD2+ MK3 is for the producer building an integrated studio, featuring a 10-in / 14-out interface with two Audient Console Mic Preamps, two balanced hardware inserts on channels one and two and eight channels of ADAT in and out. An RM1 Reference Microphone is included.

The iD4+ MK3 is created for engineers running high-channel-count sessions, with a 20-in / 24-out interface with four Audient Console Mic Preamps, two JFET Instrument Inputs, two balanced hardware inserts and 16 channels of ADAT in and out. It also features two independent headphone amplifiers with up to four cue mixes, and an RM1 Reference Microphone is included.

“We also took the opportunity to simplify the naming,” said Allen. “The iD MK3 naming reflects the number of preamps in each model – one, two, or four. The plus models add features for more integrated studios: balanced hardware inserts, ADAT input and output and advanced monitor control. Anyone coming from an iD4, iD14, iD24 or iD44 will find the iD1, iD2, iD2+ and iD4+ MK3 respectively.”

RoomTune is Audient’s new proprietary monitor correction software, included free with every iD MK3 interface. It corrects for the acoustic characteristics of the monitoring environment at a hardware level using the interface’s onboard DSP. Since the correction runs on the interface, the calibration applies system-wide so that every application benefits, from your DAW to Spotify.

At launch, RoomTune provides stereo monitor correction for the interface’s speaker outputs. Headphone correction and additional target profiles are planned for a free future software update. RoomTune requires the RM1 Reference Microphone.

iD MK3 also introduces a new industrial design, with a sloped top panel, a stepped metal encoder that clicks into place for precise, repeatable gain settings and back-illuminated LEDs and metering that stay readable in any lighting condition.

The Audient iD2, iD2+ and iD4+ are available from Audient dealers worldwide. iD1 will be available in early 2027.

The iD1 Desktop Audio Interface will be available for £169 / €199 / $199, the iD2 Desktop Audio Interface for £229 / €249 / $299, the ID2+ Desktop Audio Interface for £329 / €379 / $499, the iD4+ Desktop Audio Interface for £499 / €549 / $699 and the RM1 Reference Microphone for £39.99 / €49.99 / $54.99.
