Audient has rebuilt its iD desktop interfaces from the ground up, and the headline feature is monitor correction that runs on the interface itself rather than as a plugin 1.
“This isn't a spec refresh.”
Four boxes, new names
The third-generation range has four models, and every old name is retired 1. The new names count the mic preamps: one, two or four 1.
- iD1 (was iD4): 2-in/2-out, one mic preamp and one instrument input 1.
- iD2 (was iD14): 10-in/6-out, two preamps, an ADAT input that adds eight more channels, and two speaker outputs 123.
- iD2+ (was iD24): 10-in/14-out, two preamps, two hardware inserts and 8 channels of ADAT in and out 13.
- iD4+ (was iD44): 20-in/24-out, four preamps, two instrument inputs, 16 channels of ADAT in and out, and two headphone amps for up to four cue mixes 13.
Every model gets 75dB of clean preamp gain from the same Class-A design as Audient's ASP8024-HE console, 32-bit conversion, zero-latency DSP effects (EQ, compression, reverb) and full USB-C bus power 12. Sweetwater lists all three shipping models at 32-bit/192kHz 3.
RoomTune: why composers should care
RoomTune runs on the interface's DSP, so it needs no plugin and no CPU, and the correction applies to everything the computer plays 1. At launch it corrects the stereo speaker outputs only; headphone correction and more target profiles are promised as a free update 1. Audient's iD2 page says setup takes under 20 minutes and stores up to 32 room profiles 2.
It needs Audient's RM1 measurement mic, which ships with the iD2+ and iD4+ and is sold separately for the iD1 and iD2 12. Sweetwater lists the iD2+ and iD4+ with the RM1 included 3. That matters for anyone mixing score stems in an untreated bedroom: correction in the box is still correction, not treatment, so it pairs with the speaker choices in our 2026 monitor Rig Rundown.
Prices and availability
As of Nov 15, 2026, Audient's launch announcement says the iD2, iD2+ and iD4+ are available now through its dealers, and the iD1 follows in early 2027 1. For where an interface sits in a full scoring rig, see our guide to the film scoring software stack, and for another tool that leans on onboard processing this week, read about Akai's new MPC plugin SDK.
Correction, Nov 15, 2026: an earlier version gave launch prices for the iD1 and RM1 from a single trade report; we've removed them until Audient or a dealer lists them. Specs and model names are now sourced to Audient and Sweetwater only.
