Audient iD14 MkII (2020)

A 10-in/6-out desktop interface that connects over USB-C at USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) speeds and is bus-powered. Two Class-A mic preamps sit on combo XLR/TRS inputs, joined by a front JFET instrument DI, four balanced 1/4-inch outputs, and both a 1/4-inch and a 3.5mm headphone jack. A TOSLINK optical input expands the channel count by up to eight via an external ADAT converter. Note there is no 5-pin DIN MIDI on the iD14 MkII.

Audient’s 10×6 USB-C interface with two combo XLR/TRS preamps, an instrument DI, four TRS outs, 1/4-inch + 3.5mm headphones, and an optical ADAT input.

Notes & Compatibility

10-in/6-out USB-C interface (USB 3.0 / USB 3.2 Gen 1; full headphone power requires a USB 3.0 port). The TOSLINK optical input expands input count via ADAT (8 ch) or S/PDIF (2 ch). Two headphone outputs: one 1/4-inch and one 3.5mm. Confirmed via official Audient technical specs: this model has NO 5-pin DIN MIDI (correcting the batch-8 queue note that flagged it for MIDI).
