Audient iD2 MK3 USB Audio Interface

Audient iD2 MK3 — Studio-Grade Desktop Audio Interface

The Audient iD2 MK3 is a 10-in / 6-out USB-C audio interface for home producers stepping past entry-level gear. Two Audient Console Mic Preamps with discrete Class-A circuitry deliver 75 dB of clean gain that drives an SM7B without an inline booster. At 32-bit / 192 kHz with 128 dB of dynamic range, it captures quiet and loud sources cleanly. Bus-powered over USB-C, it brings console-grade preamps, hardware DSP and RoomTune Monitor Correction to a compact desktop.

What Sets the iD2 MK3 Apart

The Analogue Tone Suite shapes the preamp signal before it reaches the DAW: HMX adds MOSFET harmonic saturation, LIFT brings high-frequency sheen, and GLOW combines both. ORBIT is a relay-based variable impedance control with PUNCH (2.8 kΩ), SMOOTH (1.2 kΩ) and VINTAGE (220 Ω) settings that physically reshape how a microphone interacts with the preamp.

Console-Grade Preamps and Elite Conversion

With 75 dB of clean gain, an EIN of -128 dB A-Weighted and a frequency response within ±0.1 dB from 10 Hz to 80 kHz, the preamps capture delicate acoustic instruments and loud sources alike.

• Number of Preamps: 2 Audient Console Mic Preamps — discrete Class-A design
• Phantom Power: +48 V DC, 10 mA per channel
• Sample Rate / Bit Depth: up to 192 kHz / 32-bit

Inputs, Outputs and Expansion

Ten inputs and six outputs cover a full band session. An optical input accepts both ADAT (8 additional channels) and S/PDIF.

• Inputs: 2 × Combo XLR/Jack, 1 × 6.3 mm Jack (JFET), 1 × Optical (ADAT/S/PDIF)
• Outputs: 4 × 6.3 mm TRS line out (Main + ALT), 1 × 6.3 mm headphone, 1 × 3.5 mm headphone
• Digital I/O: ADAT (8 channels) and S/PDIF via optical input

Onboard DSP, Monitoring and Build

Hardware-accelerated DSP runs EQ, compression and reverb directly on the interface with zero latency and no CPU cost.

• Onboard DSP FX: EQ, Compression and Reverb on hardware — zero latency, zero CPU load
• RoomTune Monitor Correction: built-in, runs on hardware DSP
• Connectivity / Power: USB-C, bus-powered — macOS 12+, Windows 10/11, iPad and iPhone
