Hardware Features

Microphone Preamplifiers
& Line Inputs

iD24 features two classic Audient Console

microphone preamplifiers. These preamps

are based on designs from Audient’s classic

consoles and are the same that are used

across our entire ‘iD interface range’.

The design features discrete Class-A circuitry

providing exceedingly low distortion and

noise performance. From a sonic point of

view, iD24 is fast, open and detailed.

The microphone preamplifiers

Amphenol ™ XLR/TRS Jack combi-connectors

provide microphone and line inputs. The line

inputs are padded by -10dB before passing

through the microphone preamplifiers to

minimise clipping on line-level signals.

feature:

• • 58 dB of clean gain

• • >2.8kΩ input impedance which

provides a punchy tone from any

microphone transducer type

16

Instrument Input

iD24 employs a discrete class-a JFET

instrument (D.I) input on channel one which

is easily accessible on the front of the unit.

The JFET circuitry adds a tiny bit of colour

and harmonics to the signal, making it sound

great on guitars and basses.

Plugging in a TS (tip-sleeve unbalanced) jack

will override the mic signal and turn channel

one into a fully-fledged, fantastic-sounding

instrument input.

Phantom Power Switch

There is an independent phantom power

switch for each microphone channel. This

provides full phantom power (48V ±4v, 10mA

per channel) to the microphone connected to

this channel.

Please note that the iD24 will only send

phantom power to XLR connections, the TRS

line inputs will not receive phantom power.

-10dB Pad

Both inputs feature a switchable hardware

-10dB pad to help lower signal level when

recording particularly hot sources such as

drums.

17

Insert Normalling

The Insert send and return jacks are half-

normalled meaning you don’t need to patch

the two together when not in use. The internal

signal chain is only broken when a jack is

plugged into the return.

High Pass Filter

Each pre-amp also includes a switchable

hardware high pass filter that will remove

frequencies below roughly 80Hz. This is good

for removing rumble and room noise from

your recordings.

Balanced Inserts & Returns

On both input channels, the iD24 features

a dedicated insert allowing you to connect

outboard gear to your recording chain;

Just like the workflow you would find on an

Plugging a jack into the Insert send will split

the signal which can be useful for parallel

processing.

Audient console!

The two channels feature an electronically

balanced send and an electronically

balanced return, all before the analogue to

digital (AD) converters.

Insert your favourite hardware EQ and

compressor into the insert and with the

super clean Audient preamps you can build

vocal chains that will rival the best out there!

Patching Inserts

To incorporate your favourite processing

before conversion, simply patch the iD24

Insert send into the first piece of gear in your

processing chain. Then take the output of the

last device in the chain and patch this into the

iD24 Insert return.

18

Direct Access to ADC

The Insert return connection on the iD24

is an electronically balanced input stage

that directly drives the analogue to digital

converter (ADC) for that channel. As such,

this is a great place to input signals directly

to the ADC, bypassing the internal Audient

preamplifiers and minimising any colouration

of the signal.

This makes it useful to patch in external

microphone preamplifiers without adding

additional colouration or noise. It is also

handy for using the iD24’s outputs to drive

external eects before returning them into

your DAW using the insert returns.

Please note; the digital calibration level of

the iD24’s converters is 0dBFS = +12.5dBu.

using the iD Software Mixer. All i/o will

operate at up to 96kHz, with ADAT dropping

to 4 channels at sample rates of 88.2kHz or

higher.

Running in S/PDIF mode, the optical i/o gives

you 2 channels of audio in and out of the iD24

at sample rates up to 96KHz.

Running in ADAT mode, the optical i/o

provides 8 inputs and outputs which are ideal

for recording via external mic preamps.

The ADAT outputs could connect to an

8-channel DAC to provide additional outputs

Word Clock Output

The iD24 also includes a BNC Word Clock

output which allows you to clock multiple

digital devices to the iD24’s master clock and

keep everything in sync.

The Word Clock output will send a clock signal

at the same sample rate (44.1, 48, 88.2 or

96kHz) that the iD24 is operating at. This will

occur regardless of whether the iD24 is being

clocked internally or externally.

or to headphone distribution systems such as

a Hearback ™ System.

Please note, when using 88.2kHz and 96kHz

as a sample rate with ADAT devices, you only

have access to 4 channels of digital input and

4 channels of digital output due to how the

ADAT protocol works at higher sample rates.

Speaker Outputs

Headphone Output

iD24 has two pairs of stereo speaker outputs

on the back panel in the form of balanced TRS

jack connectors. The outputs are impedance

balanced using the same topology as our

flagship console, the ASP8024.

The outputs are fed from high-quality DACs

(Digital to Analogue Convertors) sending

clean audio to your speakers, perfect for

critical listening.

You can use these outputs for more than just

speakers. A good example of this is if you

want to use a dedicated headphone amplifier

for multiple musicians, you can connect this

iD24 features an independent high-current

headphone amplifier. This can be accessed

using both the 3.5mm and 6.35mm sockets

found on the front of the unit. The same

audio signal comes out of both connectors

simultaneously, so it does not matter which

you plug your headphones into. You can also

plug in two pairs at the same time.

The headphone output can comfortably drive

a wide range of headphone impedances

meaning that you will get great-sounding

audio no matter what model of headphones

you have.

up to one or more of these outputs, This is

configured in the iD Software Mixer.

23

iD Button

The iD button is used to activate iD24’s

ScrollControl feature, which turns the encoder

into a virtual scroll wheel allowing you to

control compatible scrollable parameters

within your DAW or plugins.

Simply hover your mouse over a scroll enabled

parameter in your DAW and turn the encoder

on the interface to adjust that parameter.

Please note that this will not work on all DAWs

as it relies on the DAW to have scroll wheel

support.

Monitor Controls

iD24 provides excellent monitor control

functionality using the large aluminium

volume control and the separate headphone

F-Keys

The three F buttons, F1, F2, and F3 are the

Software Features

26

Input Channels - Channel Types

The iD Software Mixer features three types of

input channels:

Mic Inputs

These are the inputs where you will see the

signal from the iD24’s two analogue inputs.

Digital Inputs

These are the inputs from the iD’s optical

inputs. The number of digital inputs present

on the iD Software Mixer depends on the

digital input type (S/PDIF or ADAT) and the

sample rate being used.

DAW Returns

Using these three channel types you can

build up your main monitor mix and up to two

additional cue mixes.

It’s important to note that the iD Software

Mixer only controls the monitoring of the

iD24. Changes made to the iD Software Mixer

won’t aect the level present in your DAW or

audio software.

These are the signals being played back

from your DAW. The iD24 has six DAW Return

Channels allowing you set up multiple cue

mixes or sends to hardware outboard gear.

audio source for each of iD24’s outputs

from the following options:

• Main Mix - This takes signal from the

Master Mix of the iD Software Mixer. This

is what is usually used for most standard

playback.

• ALT - This takes signal from the Master

Mix but only when the Alt speaker mode

is active.

• Cue A & B - This takes signal from the

two cue mixes which can be created

using the iD Software Mixer. Please note

• DAW THRU - This allows you to route to

outputs exactly as they would appear

in your DAW. For example, if you set

Analogue out 1+2 to DAW THRU, anything

your DAW sends out to Outputs 1+2 will be

sent directly to Analogue outputs 1+2.

Please note that in DAW THRU, the

channel in question will bypass any

volume control and audio will be passed

at full scale. If this output is sent to a set

of monitors without inline attenuation, this

may be very loud.

The only exception to this is the

that the hardware volume control does

not aect these mixes and the Cue’s have

separate trims which can be adjusted

when the Cue Mix is selected in the Main

Mixer Window.

headphone outputs where the volume

control will still function.

35

Talkback Source

The Talkback source allows the talkback input

to be taken from one of iD24’s internal inputs or

from an external device connected to the host

computer (such as a built-in microphone or

USB microphone).

When you select an internal input as your

Talkback channel, the corresponding channel

in the iD Software Mixer will be changed to a

talkback channel which will have a TB button

in the centre. If using an external device, the

talkback signal will appear on channel DAW 6.

Talkback can be turned on or o by pressing

the TB button on that channel, the TB button in

the master section or using one of the F-keys if

assigned to the TB function.

The Talkback is only sent to the CUE mixes

as you would not want your talkback to

also playback through the Main Speakers.

Therefore, faders will only appear for the

Talkback channels on the Cue mixes, not on the

Main Mix.

Talkback Device

If an external device is selected then this allows

you to select which connected device is used.

Saving & Loading Mixer Presets

To allow you to quickly setup your iD

Software Mixer during a session you can

save and load various presets. This is great if

you are moving between dierent recording

scenarios quite often.

Mixer presets can be saved and loaded in

two ways:

• Using the File menu and selecting either

Save or Open.

• Using standard keyboard shortcuts :

Save: Mac - Cmd + S

Simply enter the name of your preset and

press the ‘Save’ button.

It is also possible to export your preset files

in order to send them to friends or to simply

save them within your DAW session files for

easy recall later on. To do this, select Export

Mixer Configuration at the base of the Save

screen.

Loading a Mixer Configuration

To load a previously saved preset, select

File > Open to bring up the ‘Load’ screen.

Windows - Ctrl + S

Load: Mac - Cmd + O

Windows - Ctrl + O

Saving a Preset

To save a preset, simply setup your mixer the

way that you’d like. Then select File > Save

as explained above. The iD Software Mixer

window should then show the ‘Save mixer

Configuration’ dialog.

The previously saved configuration will

appear in a list. Select the configuration you

wish to use and click Load.

You can also open a mixer configuration

directly from your computer’s file system

by selecting ‘Load From File’ located at the

bottom of the window.

37

Audio Loop-back

iD24’s Software Mixer has the ability to loop-

back audio so you can record or stream audio

from dierent applications on your computer

using the dedicated Loopback channels.

• These Loopback channels are located

on input channels 11+12 and using the

‘Input Routing’ option of the ‘Setup’ menu

found in the menu bar when using the iD

Software Mixer. Here you can select the

audio source you would like to be sent to

these Loopback channels.

On macOS:

The various sources you can select from in

the menu are as follows:

• DAW 1+2 - Any audio being sent to

outputs 1+2 of the iD24

• DAW 3+4 - Any audio being sent to

outputs 3+4 of the iD24

• DAW 5+6 - Any audio being sent to

outputs 5+6 of the iD24

• Master Mix - The audio mix created in

the iD Software Mixer on the Main Mix

tab

• Cue A - The audio mix created in the iD

Software Mixer on the CUE A tab

• Cue B - The audio mix created in the iD

On Windows:

Using the Loop-back Mixer

Recording/Streaming your

To record or stream your loopback mix in your

audio software, you would simply need to

select the Loopback channels as your input

channels in your audio software. Depending

on the software you are using, they may

appear as either Loopback 1+2 or Input 11+12.

For example, the image below shows how you

would select the loopback input in Logic Pro X.

Loop-back Source

Once you have selected the Loopback Inputs

as your audio source in your recording/

streaming software, you can now set up your

Loopback mix using the iD Software Mixer.

The first step is to decide which source you

will use for your Loopback stream.

If you wish to combine audio from your

computer and microphones/instruments

into a single mix then selecting either the

Main Mix or one of the Cue Mixes is the best

option as you can use the faders in the iD

A similar process would be used in other

software. If you are unsure on how to adjust the

input on your audio software, we’d recommend

referencing the user manual for your software.

On Windows, you may also need to adjust

the audio device in your System settings from

Analogue 1+2 to Loopback 1+2.

Software Mixer to send multiple channels to

the same mix.

For example, below you can see the CUE A

mix being used as the Loopback source with

the Mic 1 and DAW 1+2 being sent to the CUE

A mix. When recording the Loopback inputs

with this setup, you would hear both the Mic

Channel and the Computer Playback on a

single stereo channel.

Please note: Some software will not allow you

to adjust the input channel you are using and

will just default to Channels 1+2. This limitation

with some software can stop you from using

loopback with this software as you are unable to

select Channels 11+12.

39

Otherwise, if you only wish to send audio from

the computer without any microphone signal,

On macOS:

you can just use one of the DAW Channels.

When selecting a channel or mix as the

loopback source, a small loopback icon will

appear on that channel/mix so you can check

which source the loopback feature is being fed

from with just a quick glance.

Open Finder and navigate to Applications

> Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup. In the Audio

MIDI Setup Utility, select the iD24 from the list

of devices. Select the ‘Output Tab’ and click

‘Configure Speakers’. You can then select

which channels on the iD24 you would like

to be your left and right outputs. Channels

3+4 will relate to DAW 3+4, Channels 5+6 will

relate to DAW 5+6...etc

Adjusting your Output Channels

When setting up your loopback mix, you may

wish to set up your computer audio so it is

sent to DAW 3+4 or DAW 5+6 in order to keep

it separate from your Main Monitor Mix which

typically will be sent to DAW 1+2.

In most DAW software, you should be able to

create a new output send or adjust the output

channel. The process to do this will vary so

we recommend that you reference the user

manual for your chosen software on how to

adjust the output channel.

On Windows:

Open the ‘Start’ menu and select ‘Settings’.

In Settings, navigate to ‘System > Sound’.

Using the ‘Output Device’ drop-down menu,

you can select the channels you wish to use

for your output. Again, channels 3+4 will
