Audient iD1 MK3 — Desktop Audio Interface with Console-Grade Preamps

The Audient iD1 MK3 is a 2-in / 2-out desktop USB-C audio interface built around the analogue preamp design from the flagship ASP8024-HE recording console. It pairs 75 dB of clean Class-A preamp gain with 32-bit / 192 kHz conversion, hardware-accelerated DSP FX, and built-in RoomTune monitor correction, all bus-powered over USB-C for solo musicians and project studio producers.

Analogue Tone Suite and RoomTune — Rare in This Class

The Analogue Tone Suite shapes the preamp signal before it reaches the DAW: HMX adds vintage warmth via a discrete MOSFET circuit, LIFT brings a polished top end, and GLOW combines both. ORBIT offers three variable impedance modes — PUNCH (2.8 kΩ), SMOOTH (1.2 kΩ), and VINTAGE (220 Ω) — while RoomTune runs on the hardware with zero CPU cost.

Preamps and Inputs

One Audient Console Mic Preamp delivers 75 dB of clean Class-A gain — enough headroom to drive an SM7B without an inline booster — while a JFET instrument input on a second channel is modelled on a classic valve amplifier front end.

• Number of Preamps: 1 Audient Console Mic Preamp (Class-A, 75 dB clean gain)
• Phantom Power: 48 V
• Inputs: Combo XLR/Jack + 6.3 mm Jack instrument input

Conversion and DSP

Conversion runs at 32-bit with 128 dB of dynamic range and supports sample rates up to 192 kHz, with hardware-accelerated DSP for zero-latency EQ, compression, and reverb.

• Sample Rate: up to 192 kHz
• Bit Depth: 32-bit (128 dB dynamic range)
• Onboard DSP: EQ, Compression, Reverb (hardware-accelerated, zero latency)

Monitoring and Connectivity

Two headphone outputs — one 6.3 mm and one 3.5 mm — plus a stereo monitor output feed the listening setup, with the unit bus-powered over USB-C and compatible with macOS, Windows, iPad, and iPhone.

• Outputs: Headphone 6.3 mm + Headphone 3.5 mm + Stereo Monitor
• Connectivity: USB-C, bus-powered
• Digital I/O: No S/PDIF, ADAT, AES/EBU, or MADI
