Audient iD24 – Professional USB Audio Interface with 10 Inputs and 14 Outputs

The Audient iD24 is a professional-grade USB audio interface designed for home studio producers, project studio engineers, and musicians who require a high channel count with professional-quality conversion and preamplifeir performance in a compact desktop form factor. Building on the acclaimed sonic performance of the Audient iD14 but expanding the input and output count significantly, the iD24 provides ten inputs including two of Audient’s class-A console microphone preamps, ADAT optical expansion for connecting additional preamps, and fourteen outputs including a dedicated monitor mix system for multiple studio monitors. For producers who are outgrowing their two-channel interface, the iD24 represents a compelling step up.

Class-A Console Microphone Preamps

The iD24’s two microphone preamps are derived directly from the designs used in Audient’s professional ASP8024 large-format mixing console, one of the most respected consoles in professional music production. These class-A discrete preamps deliver the transparent, open, and detailed sound quality that professional engineers rely on, with a low noise floor that preserves the dynamic range of sensitive condenser microphones and the punch and character of dynamic microphones used on drums, guitars, and brass. The preamps provide 58dB of gain range, sufficient for high-output condenser microphones through to ribbon microphones that require substantial gain. 48V phantom power is switchable per channel for condenser microphone operation.

High-Quality Conversion and Clocking

The iD24 uses premium Burr-Brown analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue converters throughout the signal path, delivering an A/D dynamic range of 120dB and a D/A dynamic range of 122dB. These figures are genuinely professional, ensuring that the interface does not become the limiting factor in the quality of recordings made through it or playback monitored through it. The iD24 samples at up to 96kHz/24-bit, providing the headroom required for professional music production, audio post-production, and mastering. The internal clock is low-jitter, contributing to the precise, stable converter performance that defines the iD24’s reputation for sonic accuracy.

ADAT Expansion and Monitor Control

The iD24’s ADAT optical input accepts an additional eight channels from an external preamp or converter at 48kHz (four channels at 96kHz), making it straightforward to expand the input count with a standalone preamp unit for larger recording sessions. The monitor controller section provides independent level control for two sets of stereo monitors plus headphones, with a single large encoder for master level control. The headphone output is powered by a dedicated amplifier circuit that maintains quality and output level across all headphone impedances. Direct monitoring with zero latency allows performers to hear themselves through the interface without any processing delay.

ScrollControl and DAW Integration

A unique feature of Audient’s iD range is the ScrollControl function, which repurposes the monitor volume encoder as a trackpad-style scroll wheel for navigating track lists and plug-in parameters in DAW software without touching the mouse. This ergonomic feature speeds up workflow in sessions where the engineer is frequently adjusting interface controls and DAW parameters simultaneously. The iD24 is class-compliant with macOS and Windows, requiring no separate driver installation on macOS, and the iD Mixer application provides routing flexibility for monitoring and headphone mixes independently of the DAW.

Professional I/O for Serious Recording

The Audient iD24 is available at Pro Audio Video with an authorised Indian warranty. For producers and engineers who need professional preamp quality, high channel count, and monitor controller functionality in a desktop interface, the iD24 offers an exceptional combination of performance and value. It is a career-long tool built to the standards of the professional recording studio, available at a price accessible to home studio producers.
