General

Audient surprised both friend and foe with their ID22 and ID24 audio interfaces. These supremely well-built models offered outstanding value for money, featuring world-class preamplifiers, high performance AD/DA converters and robust housing. The ID4 has all of these features too, squeezed into a highly-compact metal construction. In addition, there's a JFET instrument input and two headphone sockets. Its modest dimensions make it ideal for mobile recording.

Compact but bursting with features

While it may be small, don't let the ID4's compact dimensions fool you. It still has all of the most important features you'd find on a much larger console. That means console-style monitor control, JFET DI and a virtual scroll wheel that lets you navigate through various modes. This last feature is something you’d normally only find on very expensive consoles! The ID4 is powered via the USB cable, so you won't need to bother with an external adapter.

JFET DI

The discrete instrument input offers superior signal reproduction and is equipped with a JFET transistor that gives you the same harmonic distortion as you'd get from a tube amp! Whatever instrument you plug in, whether it’s guitar, bass or keyboard, the ID4 will transfer the sound as accurately as possible, giving you professional studio-quality recordings. Lastly, you'll have an excellent monitor mix option at your disposal that lets you switch between your inputs and playback via your DAW, all with zero latency!

What a solidly built beauty this is. The controls are nice and well built a with a quality feel to them. It has a small footprint so it will not take up much space on your worktop. But do not let the size fool you. This is a nice little unit that will not let you down. I use this to plug in my Rode Procaster and it does a fine job with that too.

This is an excellent interface, solidly built with a nice positive feel to all the controls, and its operation is straightforward and intuitive. It worked seamlessly with my Mac and ProTools 11 without any additional drivers or set up to the software. I like that it doesn't use an additional power source other than a USB connection - I use a powered USB hub which is advisable - so it's one less thing to have to plug in to a power outlet! The quality of the sound is superb and while my previous (Focusrite) one was OK, having switched to this I notice the improved 'clean' sound and strong signal. And at this price... bargain!

Carte son au top, préamplis et convertisseurs de qualité, on sent la différence. Il n'y a pas de loopback et impossible d'enregistrer de la vraie stéréo. A savoir en fonction des besoins. Par contre, impossible d'enregistrer le produit chez Audient. Serial par valide. Soit on m'a vendu un b-stock, soit ça vient de chez Audient. Merci bax shop de m'en informer.

I'm more than happy with this little thing, I upgraded to it from the presonus audiobox 96. I mainly use the cards for monitoring but sometimes I have to record foley and connect some mic to it. Whenever I would do so on the audiobox, I would get tons of noise and would spend a fair bit of time cleaning up the audio. With the ID4 there are no problems of the sort, the mic pre amp is so unbelievably cleane leaving the audiobox in the dust, it's not even funny how large the difference is. They handy little features, like mute button, ID button and 15db pad on monitors are great too. I use dt-770 250 ohm edition headphones and the ID4 can drive them easily whereas the audiobox's max volume was kind of low. Totally recommend, also for the extra software you get, retrologue is no joke. Of course it only has one mic and one DI input, but if that's all you need (like in my case), don't even hesitate.

Après de longues hésitations et comparaisons - Steinberg, Focusrite, Presonus, etc...,je suis finalement tombé sur les avis très positifs de l'Audient ID4...J'en suis ravi! Le logiciel Cubase LE ( version basique ) est fourni gratuitement moyennant le n° de série comme preuve d'achat. Je suis un simple guitariste amateur et sans prétention, et je m'intéresse depuis quelques temps aux interfaces audio et aux logiciels qui permettent "s'enregistrer", pour le plaisir, et pour progresser... l'ID4 ( associé à Cubase LE ) est tout simplement parfait en ce qui me concerne, facile d'utilisation, et aucun problème pour le connecter sur iMac 2012. Je l'utilise avec des moniteurs Presonus Eris 4.5. Le logiciel est un peu plus complexe, il faut prendre le temps de s'y familiariser, mais ce ne sont pas les tutos you tube qui manquent. Le son est excellent, tout simplement-j'y ai branché ma guitare électrique,directement, en utilisantb les effets du logiciel, mais aussi en mettant en amont de l'ID4 une pédale overdrive (je n'ai pas encore testé toutes les possibilités)... J'utilise également l'ID4 comme simple carte son externe pour écouter les fichiers musicaux Hi-Res stockés sur mon Mac, et là aussi, le son est excellent...encore meilleur qu'avec mon DAC USB Fiio que j'utilisais jusqu'à présent.

En résumé : un très bon rapport qualité-prix, à recommander si vous êtes musicien jouant principalement seul dans son bureau.

Dernier mot : livraison par Bax impeccable - colis même arrivé plus tôt que prévu.

Dé definitie van 'plug and play'! Om mijn eerste thuisstudio compleet te maken kocht ik de ID4. Simpeler aansluiten dan dit kan niet! Ik heb waarschijnlijk nog maar het topje van de hoeveelheid functies ontdekt maar ik kan niet wachten om er verder mee aan de slag te gaan. Mooi, makkelijk en zeer degelijk product.

The ID4 is a small USB audio interface by Audient, the same company that brought us the impressive ASP8024 mixing console. The saying 'good things come in small packages' certainly applies when it comes to the ID4.
