Hardware Features

Microphone Preamplifiers & Line Inputs

The iD14 features two classic Audient Console microphone preamplifiers, based on designs from Audient’s classic consoles and used across the entire ‘iD interface range’. The design utilizes discrete Class-A circuitry for low distortion and noise performance, offering a fast, open, and detailed sonic character.

Amphenol™ XLR/TRS Jack combi-connectors provide microphone and line inputs. The line inputs are padded through the microphone preamplifiers.

The microphone preamplifiers offer:

• 58 dB of clean gain.
• 48v (±4V) phantom power rated at 10mA/channel.
• > 2.8kΩ input impedance for a punchy tone.

Extra features such as a +10dB boost and polarity reverse can be accessed via the iD App (See page 23).

Instrument Input

iD14 employs a discrete class-a JFET instrument (D.I) input on channel one, easily accessible on the front of the unit. The JFET circuitry adds subtle color and distortion, ideal for guitars and basses. Plugging in a TS (tip-sleeve unbalanced) jack overrides the mic signal, turning channel one into a fully fledged instrument input with access to polarity reverse (for phase alignment) and the +10dB boost for quiet inputs.

Headphone Output

iD14 features an independent high-current headphone amplifier accessible via both the 3.5mm and 6.35mm sockets on the front. Both connectors output the same audio signal simultaneously. The output can comfortably drive a wide range of headphone impedances for great sound quality.

Digital Inputs

iD14 features an optical input connection that can operate as stereo optical S/PDIF or 8-channel ADAT (SMUX) via the System Panel in the iD mixer application. Both formats support up to 96kHz sample rate.

• S/PDIF mode: 2 channels of audio up to 96kHz.
• ADAT mode: Expands to 10 inputs for recording via an external mic preamp (e.g., Audient ASP800). At 88.2kHz and 96kHz, access is limited to 4 channels due to ADAT specifications.

For more information on system clocking, refer to pages 28 onwards.

Speaker Outputs

iD14 has two pairs of stereo speaker outputs on the back panel via balanced TRS jack connectors. These outputs are impedance-balanced, mirroring the topology of the ASP8024 console. They are fed from high-quality DACs, delivering clean, linear audio to your speakers for critical listening.

These outputs can also be used for other purposes, such as connecting to a dedicated headphone amplifier for multiple musicians, configured within the iD mixer software.

Monitor Control

iD14 provides excellent monitor control functionality using the large aluminium encoder and encoder buttons. It allows control of main loudspeaker and headphone volumes with a matched stereo volume control. The three encoder mode buttons allow selection of what the encoder controls, with the selected button illuminating.

Loudspeaker and Headphone Buttons

Pressing the speaker or headphone button allows the encoder to control the level of the selected output. The volume is displayed on the meter LEDs. Pressing the encoder mutes the output. When muted, the corresponding encoder button flashes.

iD Button

The iD button offers extra functionality as an assignable function button or to activate iD14's ScrollControl, turning the encoder into a virtual scroll wheel for controlling DAW or plugin parameters. When set as a function button, the encoder continues to control the previously selected output. The iD button’s function is assigned in the iD app.

Hardware Metering

The 8-segment hardware meters indicate playback level from the iD mixer app. It is recommended to use DAW metering for input levels.

Kensington Lock

A Kensington lock hole is provided to secure the iD14 in public-facing environments or educational establishments.

Status LED

The status LED indicates USB connection to your computer. A solidly lit light signifies stable communication between iD14 and your computer.

iD Mixer Application

Input Channels - Channel Types

The iD mixer application features three types of input channels:

• Mic Inputs: Signals from the iD14's two analogue inputs.
• Digital Inputs: Signals from the iD's optical inputs (S/PDIF or ADAT), depending on the sample rate used.
• DAW Returns: Signals played back from your DAW. The iD14 offers 6 DAW Return Channels for setting up multiple cue mixes or sends to hardware.

These channel types allow you to build your main monitor mix and up to two additional cue mixes. The iD mixer application controls monitoring only; changes do not affect levels in your DAW or audio software.

Channel Features

Each channel in the mixer offers the following controls:

• Channel Name: Double-click to rename channels for organization (e.g., 'Kick', 'Snare').
• Phase Flip: Inverts the signal's polarity by 180° to prevent phase cancellation, useful for micing guitar amplifiers or snare drums.
• Pan Control: Adjusts the audio signal's position in the stereo field for Main Monitor Mix or Cue Mixes.
• Stereo Grouping: Groups two adjacent channels into a stereo channel with a single fader. Pans are automatically set to far left and far right.
• +10dB Boost: Increases the incoming signal by +10dB for recording quiet sources, also affecting DAW input levels.
• Solo: Mutes all other channels except the selected one. Multiple channels can be solo'd.
• Mute: Stops a channel from outputting audio.
• Fader: Controls the signal level sent to the selected mix, adjustable from -inf dB to +6dB.
• Meter: Displays the current signal level in dBFS. Peak indicators illuminate red when the signal exceeds 0dBFS and can be turned off by clicking them (or using Alt+Click for all).

Master Section Features

The master section allows control over mixes and monitoring:

• Mix Selection: Click a mix to expand and reveal its controls.
• Cue Mix Name: Double-click to rename cue mixes (e.g., 'Drummer', 'Guitarist').
• Mix Solo: Audition individual cue mixes through your monitors.
• Mix Level: Controls the overall level of the cue mix sent to the outputs.
• Mix Meters: Display the master signal level of the selected mix.
• Chronometer: Shows current and recent signal levels, useful for tracking transients or monitoring level changes over time.
• Channel Views: Buttons to show/hide channel types (Mic, Optical, DAW) in the mixer.

Monitor Controls

These six buttons control various aspects of the iD14's monitor controller capability:

• TB (Talkback): Toggles talkback on/off. See ‘System Panel’ for settings.
• ø (Phase Flip): Flips the phase of one side of the stereo field, useful for removing centered elements from a mix.
• Mono: Sums stereo outputs to mono, useful for checking mono compatibility.
• Dim: Reduces output level by a preset amount, useful for quick conversations.
• Monitor and Headphone Mute: Mutes monitor outputs or headphone outputs from the software. A cross icon indicates a muted output.
• Alt: Quickly switches your monitor path to a secondary set of monitors for checking mix translation. The outputs for ‘ALT’ are selected in the System Panel.

System Panel Features

The System Panel provides detailed control over the iD14's functions:

• Digital Input Format: Selects between ADAT or S/PDIF for the optical input.
• Preferred Clock Source: Selects internal clock or optical input. Indicators show clock status (Red: No clock, Amber: Incorrect rate, Green: Correct rate). For external clocking, the indicator should be green; otherwise, iD14 defaults to internal clock.
• Mono Mode: Controls how the mono signal is sent to monitors (left, right, or both).
• Dim Level: Sets the amount of level reduction when the dim function is engaged.
• Alt Speaker Level: Defines the level drop/boost when switching to ALT speaker mode, used for balancing different speaker brands.
• Output Routing Selection: Opens the routing matrix for Analogue Outputs, Digital Output 1, or the Talkback channel.
• iD Mode: Controls whether the iD button activates Scroll Control or Monitoring functions.

Routing Matrix

The Routing Matrix controls the audio source for each of the iD14’s outputs:

• Main Mix: Signal from the Master Mix, typically used for standard playback.
• Alt: Signal from the Master Mix, active only when Alt speaker mode is engaged.
• Cue A & B: Signals from the two cue mixes. Hardware volume control does not affect these mixes; separate trims are available in the Main Mixer Window.
• DAW THRU: Routes audio directly from your DAW to the outputs, bypassing volume control and passing audio at full scale. This can be very loud if monitors lack inline attenuation. Headphone outputs still function with volume control.

Talkback Source

The Talkback source can be set to one of the iD14’s internal inputs or a device connected to the host computer (e.g., built-in microphone or USB microphone). When an input is selected as the Talkback channel, it changes to a talkback channel with a TB button. If an external device is used, the talkback signal appears on channel DAW 6. Faders are only available for these channels on Cue mixes, not the Main Mix.

Talkback Device

If an external device is selected, this option allows you to choose which connected device is used.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Troubleshooting

“The unit will not power on”

Double-check the USB cable connection. Try a different USB port or cable. If using a USB hub, plug iD14 directly into the computer.

“I get clicks and pops on DAW playback”

This is usually due to a buffer size set too low for your computer, especially with large projects and many plugins. Experiment with higher buffer sizes. Smaller buffer sizes are preferred for tracking to minimize latency, while larger sizes are acceptable for mixing.

“When I connect to my computer, I cannot play any audio out from iD14”

First, double-check the USB cable connection at both ends. Then, ensure iD14 is set as the active playback device in your DAW and computer settings:

• macOS: System Preferences > Sound > Output Tab > Audient iD14.
• Windows: Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Manage Audio Devices > Audient iD14.

Launch the iD mixer application to activate communication between your computer and iD14. This only needs to be done once after power-up. Once iD14 is set up, you can quit the iD application, and it will continue to function.

In the software mixer, locate the DAW channels by pressing the DAW view button and increase the level of the DAW 1+2 fader.

“I have clocking issues which include iD14 not locking to external ADAT or SPDIF devices or operating at the incorrect rate compared to my session”

If syncing with an external device, the Status LED in the System Panel will be red or yellow. Red indicates no clock signal detection; yellow indicates detection at the wrong sample rate.

macOS: To change the sample rate, go to Audio MIDI Setup (Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup). Ensure iD14 is recognized (Window Menu > Show Audio Window). Double-check that an appropriate clock source is selected (Internal for master, ADAT or S/PDIF for external slave). Verify the correct sample rate is displayed in the Format drop-down menu.

Windows: Right-click the iD icon in the system tray to access settings, including sample rate, or adjust in the iD app's Setup tab. Change the sample rate to match the external ADAT device and session.

“How do I reset the iD mixer application to its default state?”
