Audient ID4
Posted: Wed Sep 14, 2016 4:32 pm
This is a USB2 unit with 1 microphone in, 1 DI in, stereo audio out and two headphones outs. 150€ street price in Europe. Reviews are good, especially about the quality of the preamp.
I needed a travelling audio interface for my laptop, I run actually a 16.04 Ubuntu Mate distribution with the KX repositories.
The Audient ID4 is class compliant, although there is no much information about compatibility with Linux, I decided to take the risk and bought it today.
Jack shows 4 audio in / 2 audio out : that's correct, given we have
Inputs : 1 preamp + 1 DI + 2 monitoring (we'll see that later)
Outputs : stereo out
Now the question : does it works ?
Yes !
I have yet to tweak latency and sample rate, but I had good results with 44100khz/512 samples and 48000kHz/1024 samples. Of course this is a first short working test.
I'll post more soon, but it could a good new, because if it works, the other boxes of the Audient range ould work also : ID14 and ID22.
