The Ultimate iD Interface
Bigger, better and more powerful than ever, iD48 is the flagship USB iD interface made for producers and engineers. Packing in eight Audient Console Mic Preamps, advanced 32-bit ESS converter technology and the all new Switchable Analogue Insert technology, iD48 seamlessly combines astonishing audio performance with ease of use. Add to that professional must have features like ADAT expandability and customisable monitor control, iD48 is ready to transform your studio.
8 x Audient Console Mic Preamps
Sound better than ever with the Audient Console Mic Preamp. Delivering 68dB gain, ultra- low noise and low distortion with a touch of classic analogue warmth. iD48's eight Audient Console Mic Preamp's 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 ESS DAC converter technology to minimise quality loss and maximise performance during conversion, iD48 makes sure your audio sounds cleaner, clearer and more precise than ever. And with 126.5dB of dynamic range, you will hear subtle details better and identify problematic issues faster making getting release ready results easy.
Expand with Digital I/O
Make short work of the most demanding sessions and future proof your studio with iD48's optical input and output connections. Supporting both ADAT and SPDIF, iD48 lets you boost your I/O by adding up to 16 channels of external mic preamps to your setup.
8 x Balanced Inserts for Outboard Integration
Utilising Dsub connections, iD48 provides eight fully balanced inserts letting you integrate your favourite outboard FX prior to conversion giving you the cleanest signal path possible. Perfect for stem mixing and print-backs.
Switchable Insert Routing
And for the first time ever, iD48's Switchable insert routing enables you to select which source is feeding the ADC path. Letting you choose whether to send the Audient Mic Preamp or a DAW output to your outboard on a per channel basis and all without having to plug or unplug cables. Plus, for users wanting to record external analogue mic preamps, iD48's Returns let you bypass the Audient mic preamp, giving you a super clean and direct conversion path for recording.
Advanced Monitoring Control
iD48 not only excels as a powerful USB-C audio interface, but also provides everything you need to get studio-ready monitoring control.
Headphone Outputs
Confidently mix on headphones with either of iD48's two engineer-grade and independent stereo headphone amps, providing 124dB dynamic range and enough power to support headphones up to 600Ohms.
Speaker Outputs
Connect, listen and reference your mixes through Main and Alt speaker outputs. Alternatively use the extra line outputs to send audio to an external headphone amp for distribution to your artists.
Talkback Control
Take advantage of iD48's innovative talkback technology, letting you use a USB microphone or your computer's built-in mic as a dedicated talkback mic freeing up valuable mic preamps for recording.
User Definited Monitor Control
Configurable function buttons let you assign any of iD48's powerful monitoring capabilities, such as Speaker Select, Dim or Mono Sum to the two dedicated hardware Function Buttons.
Ultra-low Latency Software Mixer
Optimised for speed, the iD Mixer is your productivity's best friend. Quickly set up ultra-low latency direct monitoring, create up to four stereo cue mixes, save layout presets and quickly setup advanced routing all from one easy to use app.
2 x JFET Instrument Inputs
Designed to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, iD48's two harmonically rich JFET Instrument Inputs gives you the perfect sonic foundation for your guitars or basses before you hit your amp sims.
Engineered to Last
At just over 44cm wide, an all-metal construction and with detachable rack ears, iD48 is designed to survive everyday use, whether in the studio or up against the wear and tear of travel. Stable, reliable and ready to go.
USB Connectivity
Connecting via a high-speed USB connection, iD48 offers ultra low latency monitoring, and rock solid driver performance for both macOS and Windows.
Whisper Quiet
A fanless design means iD48 provides near total silence no matter what you throw at it. Perfect for any studio environment.
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.

All of Audient's products come with a three-year limited warranty guaranteeing you further protection and peace of mind when you choose Audient.

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.
