Now in its second generation, iD44 MKii flaunts improved audio performance, an extra 9dB dynamic range for ADC, and loopback functionality. This 20-in/24-out USB interface has four of Audient's console microphone preamps, two JFET instrument inputs, class-leading converters, ADAT expandability, and a DSP mixer. The mic pres feature the same circuit design from Audient's renowned ASP8024-HE console for vanishingly low noise and distortion with a hint of the analog character you love. And with 60dB of gain on tap, you can use your favorite low-output ribbon mic on subdued sources. Greater headroom than ever One of the hallmarks of the original iD44 was its high-performance AD/DA conversion. The iD44 MKii ups the ante with its improved ADC performance. Audient's team of engineers pulled out all the stops to improve the THD+N (Total Harmonic Distortion Plus Noise) figure by 9dB. With its new THD+N figure of 112dB, you'll notice you have more headroom, experience less audible distortion, and reduce noise in your signal. With its outstanding conversion capabilities, all you have to do is press Record. The iD44 MKii does the rest.
