Interfaccia audio Audient iD48, USB, 24x32 canali, interfaccia di registrazione desktop

Audient iD48 is a desktop USB audio interface that provides 24x32 channels for simultaneous multitrack recording and playback. Built for studio environments, the unit combines multiple mic, line and digital inputs with versatile outputs and low-latency USB connectivity to support tracking, overdubbing and monitor routing. The compact form factor places critical controls on the front panel while delivering signal clarity suitable for both project and professional studios.

Advantages

The Audient iD48 offers high channel count in a compact desktop format while maintaining low-latency performance for multitrack recording. Its integrated preamplifiers deliver clean analogue gain staging and the interface supports flexible routing between analog, ADAT and USB I/O. Front-panel monitoring controls and talkback features streamline studio workflow, and the unit’s build and component selection prioritise stable clocking and transparent audio quality.

Suitable for

• Multitrack recording of bands, ensembles and live room sessions
• Project and professional studios requiring multiple simultaneous inputs
• Post-production and mixing setups with dedicated monitor outputs
• Home studios that need desktop access to high-channel-count I/O

Key specifications

• Audio channels: 24 inputs and 32 outputs for simultaneous I/O
• Connectivity: USB interface for computer audio and control
• Microphone preamps: multiple analogue mic/line preamplifiers with clean gain
• Digital expansion: ADAT-compatible optical I/O for additional channels
• Monitor outputs: dedicated stereo outputs with front-panel control and talkback
• Latency: low-latency monitoring suitable for real-time tracking
• Form factor: desktop design with front-facing controls and metering

How to use

Connect the Audient iD48 to your computer using a USB cable and install the appropriate drivers or audio configuration software as required by your operating system. Patch microphones and instruments into the analogue inputs and, if additional channels are needed, connect an ADAT expansion device to the optical inputs. Configure the interface as the audio input/output device in your DAW, set sample rate and buffer size to balance latency and stability, and use the front-panel monitor controls to set headphone and speaker levels. Engage direct monitoring or software monitoring depending on the session needs and use talkback or cue mixes for performer communication.

Recommendations

For reliable multitrack sessions, set the DAW buffer as low as possible without causing audio dropouts to maintain low-latency monitoring. Use balanced cables for analogue outputs to minimise noise and ensure proper grounding. When expanding I/O via ADAT, match sample rates between devices and check clocking settings to avoid sync issues.
