Audient iD1 Desktop 2-In / 2-Out Audio Interface with Mic Preamp and RoomTune Monitor Correction

Skip entry-level sound. The iD1 Desktop (formerly the iD4) is a 2-in / 2-out desktop audio interface built around two features most in its class can't offer: built-in RoomTune Monitor Correction and a tone-shaping Console Mic Preamp with real analogue saturation. Paired with a JFET Instrument Input, Hardware-Accelerated DSP FX and 32-bit Conversion, the iD1 delivers a complete professional signal chain from a compact, bus-powered interface, designed for the solo musician, singer-songwriter or producer working alone.

RoomTune Monitor Correction

Built-in RoomTune Monitor Correction processes room correction at the hardware level, helping users improve monitoring accuracy without relying on plug ins or computer CPU resources. An RM1 measurement microphone is required and sold separately. This gives desktop producers a direct way to address room response inside the interface rather than adding another software layer to the monitoring chain.

Hardware Tone Shaping and DSP Effects

The Analogue Tone Suite provides four hardware based tonal options. ORBIT changes microphone input impedance, HMX adds harmonic saturation, LIFT adds high frequency boost, and GLOW combines HMX and LIFT. Hardware accelerated DSP provides EQ, compression, and reverb with zero latency, giving musicians useful monitoring and tonal control while recording.

Direct Monitoring for a Focused Desktop Setup

A hardware Direct Monitor button with input to DAW balance control helps users manage live input and playback levels without unnecessary routing complexity. Stereo monitor output and separate 6.3 mm and 3.5 mm headphone outputs support speakers and two common headphone connection formats, while USB-C bus power keeps the setup compact and reduces additional cabling.

Why choose the iD1?

The iD1 brings together hardware features that typically sit on more expensive interfaces. RoomTune Monitor Correction stops your room coloring what you hear, running on the hardware with no plugins and no CPU load, so your mixes sound right from your desk to the car and beyond.

The Analogue Tone Suite shapes the sound of your Console Mic Preamp on the way in: HMX adds warmth through a discrete MOSFET circuit, LIFT adds sheen, GLOW combines the two for a mix-ready take, and ORBIT changes the character of your mic with three voicings (Punch, Smooth and Vintage).

The iD1's Console Mic Preamp and JFET Instrument Input work simultaneously, so vocal and guitar can land in the same take. All delivered over a single USB-C cable via bus power.
