Microphone Preamps
Use a class-A microphone design developed by legend David Dearden and optimised over 18 years of refinement
I/O
Offers you two channels of mic pres as well as a harmonically rich JFET D.I input. Designed to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, you can plug your guitar, bass, keyboard or drum machine straight in and start recording instantly
Convertor Technology
Provides you with high performance AD-DA convertors from Burr Brown
Software Mixer
Tightly integrates the hardware and software making the recording process easy. Enabling you to concentrate on what’s really important – the music
Console Style Monitor Controller
Features built-in console style monitor control functions – Mono, polarity, dim, cut, speaker switching, talkback & cue mix monitoring
Expansion
Allows for expansion via the optical input connector, supporting both ADAT or S/PDIF. Enabling you to expand up to ten inputs via an eight-channel mic pre, such as the ASP880
Control
Gives you control of your software with the unit’s ScrollControl. With a touch of a button, the unit’s volume encoder becomes a virtual scroll wheel that allows you to adjust DAW hosts, plug-in parameters, iD14’s mixer app, and even scroll through your iTunes library – just like you’re adjusting a piece of hardware. Wherever your mouse pointer hovers, the iD knob can scroll to control
When not using the virtual scroll wheel, the iD button can be assigned to control the unit’s monitoring features, including DIM, CUT, Polarity Reverse, Mono Sum, Talkback and Cue Mix monitoring, all of which can be assigned to the iD button
Durability
Features all-metal construction, hand finished aluminium knobs and high grade component selection, that will stand up to countless late nights in the studio and days on the road
