Front and rear panels​

Audient iD2+ annotated front and rear panels

iD2+ provides two Audient Console Mic Preamps with combi-jack inputs. A JFET instrument input is also available and takes precedence over analogue Input 1 when it is in use.

The large Control Wheel changes function depending on what you are controlling. Use it to adjust monitor or headphone level and input gain. The LED ring around the Control Wheel shows the current setting.

iD2+ provides separate Main and ALT stereo speaker outputs, dedicated DIM, ALT and TALK hardware controls, and an assignable FN button.

The rear panel also provides one optical input and one optical output, a BNC word clock output and two balanced hardware insert points for analogue Inputs 1 and 2. These insert points connect compatible outboard equipment within the analogue input path.

In a typical setup, your analogue or digital inputs are sent to the computer for recording, while playback returns to iD2+ for monitoring through Main, ALT or the headphone output. The iD Control Mixer adjusts the monitoring balance independently of the recording Input Gain setting.
