Audient is entering its second round with the popular iD14 USB audio interface, following on directly from the huge success of its predecessor. The updated successor iD14 MKII delivers improved dynamics and frequency response thanks to new converter technology, while two Class-A microphone preamps from Audient's high-end ASP8024 HE console provide that certain something. The audio interface is connected via a USB-C port, which also improves the power supply and simplifies handling.

Practical features of the predecessor have been adopted and continue to contribute to the fast work with the DAW. For example, the housing remains robust and"Audient-typical" with controls on the top to ensure an easy workflow. Phantom power, monitor mix and monitor panning functions, as well as iD Control knobs with ScrollControl for DAW integration are all within easy reach, while levels can be read quite easily. Rounding out the overall home recording package is a comprehensive ARC software package that can be downloaded after purchase. On board are Cubase LE + Cubasis LE 2, Steinberg Retrologue 2 Synth, TwoNotes Wall of Sound, Loopmasters Sample Pack and much more!
