Audient’s iD range of interfaces offer a decent blend of audiophile electronics, solid construction and handsome looks. Nevertheless, in recent times it’s been their Evo units grabbing the headlines, with the Evo 16 in particular offering incredible value and flexibility. Thankfully, Audient is also gradually upgrading their original generation iD units, and the latest one is the iD24, which replaces the iD22.
The iD24 is a 10in/14out 24bit/96kHz capable USB 3.0 powered audio interface. On the input side it features two of Audient’s highly respected 8024 Class-A mic preamps via combi connectors on the back, and one front-mounted JFET-based instrument input, which when plugged up replaces mic input 1. Both inputs also include balanced inserts on ¼” TRS jacks.
For outputs you have two stereo pairs which can be assigned as Main and Alt monitors if you wish (see boxout). There’s also one headphone output but with two sockets (¼” and ⅛”) that you can use simultaneously. Completing the I/O are a pair of ADAT connectors (ADAT and S/PDIF compatible) and for system clock integration you’ve also got a Word Clock output (this is a new addition on the iD24).
