Audient iD1 – One Console Preamp, Desk-Sized

The iD1 is the smallest interface in Audient's third-generation iD range: one Audient Console Mic Preamp, a front instrument input and a pair of balanced monitor outputs in a compact desktop body with the big iD scroll control in the middle. It brings the range's onboard DSP and RoomTune monitor correction to a one-voice, one-guitar setup. At Soundium it sits where the iD4 MK2 used to.

Key Features

• Audient Console Mic Preamp: 75 dB of clean gain on the XLR/TRS combo input, enough for quiet dynamic mics.
• RoomTune monitor correction: Stereo correction for your speakers runs on the interface's own DSP.
• Analogue Tone Suite: Orbit, HMX, LIFT and GLOW tone shaping, recallable from software.
• Zero-latency DSP effects: Hardware-accelerated EQ, compression and reverb for monitoring while you record.
• 32-bit conversion: Up to 192 kHz with 128 dB of dynamic range.
• Smartgain: Sets the input level for you, then the setting is saved and recalled.

Customer Benefits

Most first interfaces are fine until you hear your own room. The iD1 deals with both ends of the chain: a console-grade preamp with real gain headroom on the way in, and RoomTune correction on the way out, so the mix you make at the desk translates better elsewhere. Because the tone shaping and Smartgain settings are stored digitally, a vocal chain you liked last week comes back exactly the same. Everything runs from a single USB-C cable.

Pros & Cons

✅ Pros:

• 75 dB of clean gain from a single compact box
• RoomTune correction built in rather than added as software
• Tone shaping and gain settings recall exactly
• Two headphone sizes on the front, no adapter needed

⚠️ Cons:

• Only one mic input, so no stereo or two-person recording
• The RM1 measurement microphone for RoomTune is sold separately

If you record one source at a time and want the room to stop lying to you, the iD1 is the compact way into Audient's console sound. Find the Audient iD1 at Soundium, alongside the RM1 Reference Microphone.
