Your recordings made better
Introducing iD44, the audio interface made for producers and engineers. Featuring four Audient Console Mic Preamps, Advanced 32-bit AD/DA Converters and two fully balanced analogue inserts - iD44 effortlessly combines astonishing audio performance with ease of use. Add to that professional must have features like dual headphone outputs, ADAT expandability and customisable monitor control, iD44 makes getting studio quality results easy.
4 x Audient Console Mic Preamps
Sound better than ever with the Audient Console Mic Preamp. Delivering 70dB gain, ultra-low noise and low distortion with a touch of classic analogue warmth. iD44's four Audient Console Mic Preamps make sure you capture a clean, accurate and true to source translation of your audio.
How does it sound?
The Audient Mic Preamp is an all discrete high grade op amp design that delivers a clean, accurate and detailed translation of your source.
Now that's quiet
With a noise floor 30,000 times quieter than the signal level your recordings will be captured with stunning clarity.
Real analogue mic preamps
That's the same fully analogue and discrete mic preamp circuit design found in Audient's renowned recording console the ASP8024-HE. No emulations, no copies, just real analogue console mic preamps on your desktop.
Advanced 32-bit Converter Technology
Utilising 32-bit AD/DA converter technology to minimise quality loss and maximise performance during conversion, iD44 makes sure your audio sounds cleaner, clearer and more precise than ever. And with a massive 126.5dB of dynamic range, you will hear subtle details better and identify problematic issues faster, letting you mix with confidence and achieve release-ready results.
Balanced Inserts for Outboard Integration
Integrate your favourite outboard FX prior to conversion and start creating signal chains that rival the very best. And with direct access to the A/D converters, iD44 gives you the cleanest signal path possible for integrating outboard line level sources - perfect for stem mixing and print-backs.
2 x JFET Instrument Inputs
Give your amp sims the analog warmth and character they've been missing. Designed to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, iD44's two harmonically rich JFET Instrument Inputs give you the perfect sonic foundation for guitars and bass.
Expand with Digital I/O
Designed to grow with you, iD44 lets you easily configure your studio to tackle bigger sessions like recording drums or a live band with optical input and output connections. Supporting both ADAT and SPDIF, now you can boost your I/O and add up to 16 channels of mic preamps to your setup at any time.
Advanced Monitoring Control
iD44 not only excels as a powerful USB-C audio interface, but also provides studio-ready monitoring connectivity and control, making sure you can control and hear your audio accurately at all times.
Headphone Outputs
Confidently mix on headphones with iD44's two engineer-grade headphone amps capable of driving headphones up to 600Ohms. And with both a 1/4" jack and a mini-jack on Headphone Output 1, iD44 allows you to plug in three sets of headphones - making working with artists a breeze.
Speaker Outputs
Connect and listen to your mixes through two sets of speakers with iD44's four line outputs - ideal for checking how your mixes translate between speakers. Alternatively use the extra line outputs to send audio to an external headphone amp for distribution to your artists.
Dim and Mute Controls
iD44 is equipped with both a dedicated Dim and Mute button, letting you quickly cut your audio or talk with an artist - all without having to dive into software.
Customisable Control
Assign any of iD44's advanced monitoring features, including Speaker Switching, Polarity Invert or Mono Sum, to any of the user configurable Function buttons - your workflow just got a whole lot easier.
Talkback Control
iD44's dedicated talkback control enables you to use any audio source connected to your computer such as a built-in or USB microphone as your talkback mic, freeing up valuable mic Preamps for recording.
Experience ultra-low latency
The iD Software Mixer tightly integrates hardware and software, letting you effortlessly set up low latency direct monitoring, create up to four stereo artist cue mixes, name and customise channels, save layout presets, assign hardware function buttons and quickly setup advanced routing all from one easy to use app.
Streamer Friendly
Now equipped with Audio Loop-back, iD44 can quickly transform into a multi purpose powerhouse. Giving you the ability to capture playback from multiple applications on your computer at the same time as your microphones and create a custom audio feed ready to send to your streaming software. Ideal for content creators, podcasters and streamers.
Engineered to last
iD44 not only looks good but feels good too. Its all-metal design, hand-milled aluminium knobs and high-grade component selection make it perfect for everyday use, whether you're recording at home or on the go.
Free Software and Plugins
Bundled with a free suite of creative software including Cubase LE, alongside industry leading plugins and virtual instruments, you can start recording as soon as you open the box.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
