Microphone Preampliﬁer & Line Input

Instrument Input

iD4 uses a discrete Class-A JFET instrument

iD4 features an Audient Console microphone

preampliﬁer. This preamp is based on designs

from Audient’s classic consoles and are the

same that are used across our entire product

range.

The design features discrete, Class-A circuitry

providing exceedingly low distortion and noise

performance. From a sonic point of view, iD4

is fast, open and detailed.

• Amphenol™ XLR/TRS Jack combi-

connectors provide microphone and line

inputs in one compact connector.

When using a condenser microphone you will

need to use phantom power otherwise you

will not get any signal. To activate phantom

power, press the +48V switch next to the input

connector. The +48V phantom power indicator

LED will illuminate red when phantom power

The microphone preampliﬁers feature:

• 58 dB of clean gain

• 48v (±4V) phantom power rated at

10mA

• > 2.8kΩ input impedance which

provides a punchy tone from any

microphone type

(D.I) input on channel 2, which is easily

accessible at the front of the unit.

The D.I input is perfect for plugging in electric

or electro-acoustic guitars, as well as basses

and even synthesisers. The JFET circuitry adds

a tiny bit of colour and distortion to the signal,

giving your instruments a bit of added warmth.

Loudspeaker Outputs

iD4 has stereo speaker outputs on the

back panel in the form of balanced TRS

jack connectors. The outputs are fed from

high quality Digital to Analogue Convertors

(DACs), sending clean, detailed audio to your

speakers.

Headphone Outputs

is activated.

iD4 features a 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.

Headphones can be used instead of, or

alongside speakers to get an idea how your

mix sounds on headphones, or to provide an

artist headphone mix.

Monitor Control

Monitor Pan

Volume Encoder

The Volume encoder allows you to change the

volume of the audio for both the speaker and

headphone outputs. Pressing the encoder will

dim the audio, dropping the level by 15 dB,

useful if you want to quickly turn down the

level to your speakers/headphones without

losing your listening level. As you adjust the

volume level, the main meters will change

to show the level you are setting it to, before

changing back to show the output level.

Monitor Mix

iD4’s Monitor Pan feature enables you to

pan both the mic pre and DI input from left

to right, making it easy to create a balanced

headphone mix that suits you. Press and hold

the Mute and iD buttons whilst turning the

Volume Encoder to pan the inputs.

Twisting clockwise pans channel 1 left and

channel 2 right, while twisting anti-clockwise

pans channel 1 right and channel 2 left.

Pressing the encoder whilst holding the Mute

and iD button will reset the pan.

As you adjust monitor pan, the meters show

the pan positions of the mic and D.I, where

The Monitor Mix knob lets you monitor the

mic and D.I inputs, while still being able to

hear the audio coming from your computer

(DAW) at very low latency to avoid distracting

delays.

While mixing in your live input, it is important

to turn o monitoring in your Digital Audio

Workstation (DAW), otherwise you will end up

hearing an extra copy of the signal.

If you rotate the Monitor Mix dial all the way

to INPUT, it allows you to monitor the true

input Levels. The Mic/Line input will appear

on the top meter, and the D.I on the bottom

meter.

Note

Listening on speakers while monitoring

your input from a microphone in the same

room can cause feedback, which not only

is unpleasant, but could also potentially

damage your speakers. Ensure that

the top meter shows the Mic/Line Input, and

the bottom meter shows the D.I Input.

MUTE Speakers Button

The MUTE Speakers button is a quick way of

muting the speaker outputs whilst allowing

audio to pass to the headphone outputs,

allowing you to hear what you are playing

while you are recording.

If you are using a microphone in the same

room as your speakers, then it is important

to mute your speakers while recording to

prevent unwanted audio being picked up by

the mic or getting feedback.

the monitor mix is set all the way to DAW

iD Button

Pressing the iD button will activate

ScrollControl, which allows the encoder to

be used as a virtual scroll wheel for your

computer. This works well for compatible

plugin parameters and adding automation

General Operation

The white USB LED indicates connection via

To use ScrollControll, hover your mouse over

not sensitive enough, you can try adjusting

your computer scrolling speed found in your

computer settings.

on certain plugins or DAWs depending on

how they have been programmed to work

how to get the most out of iD4, and some of

the dierent settings and options you have

Sample Rate

When starting a new project, it is important to

consider the sample rate you are using. The

sample rate dicates how many times a second

of 0s and 1s.

computer some time to do other processing.

If you are monitoring iD4’s inputs directly using

the Monitor Mix knob, you can keep the buer

size relatively high to reduce the strain on

your computer. If you are wanting to monitor

through your DAW with eects, for example

being able to hear your electric guitar with an

amp simulator on it, you will want the lowest

buer size your computer can handle. The

buer size you can get down to before you

get audio issues is hugely dependant on your

computer power, as well as the processing

requirements of your session. Some DAWs

is the standard for people working with ﬁlm.

Higher sample rates can have their beneﬁts

but it is worth noting that as you increase the

sample rate, you increase the ﬁle size of the

audio and CPU resources required.

Buer Size and Latency

Buer size is a very important setting that

will ensure that your projects are running

smoothly and eciently. A wrongly selected

buer size can result in hearing pops, clicks

and stuttering audio. Buer size dictates how

many “samples” of audio are stored before

the CPU load, allowing you to choose lower

buer sizes.

For mixing, you can set the buer size much

higher, to allow your computer to process the

audio in time. Increasing the latency does

not really matter in this situation because you

aren’t trying to do anything live. For larger

sessions, you might ﬁnd that you need a

larger buer size than normal.

You may need to adjust buer sizes when

working at dierent sample rates to account

for the dierence in CPU requirements of

your inputs, you can set the buer size

reasonably high to reduce the strain on your

computer. If you are experiencing issues with

playback stability or “overload” errors coming

“The unit will not power on”

Double check that the USB cable is plugged

in ﬁrmly. If it still won’t power on, try using a

dierent USB port on your computer and

possibly a dierent USB cable. If you are using

a USB hub, try plugging iD4 directly into the

computer.

“I get clicks and pops on DAW playback”

This is most likely to do with setting the

buer size too low for your computer. This

can be caused by running very large projects

with a lot of plugins and virtual instruments.

Experiment with higher buer sizes. Typically

“When I connect to my computer, I cannot play any audio out from iD4”

FAQs

Technical Speciﬁcations

“I keep getting loud feedback in my speakers”

This is most likely caused by monitoring your

microphone input while your speakers are on

in the same room. Please make sure that you

either move the monitor mix knob all the way

to DAW if you aren’t wanting to monitor your

input, or if you are, simply press the MUTE

Speakers button and listen on headphones.

“I hear an echo when recording”

This is most likely due to input monitoring

being enabled in the workstation while also

using the zero latency monitoring in iD4. For

more information on this see page 13.
