This is my reliable Audient ID4.
I used it mostly to record vocals.It doesn’t have latency, it is great, portable, light.It has scratches as I took it with me when I traveled. Works great!!!!
The Audient iD4 features one dedicated XLR/line combo input on the rear panel.
Line Inputs: While there is only one dedicated combo XLR/TRS jack input for microphones or line-level signals, the front-panel JFET instrument input can also be used for line-level signals (like synthesizers), effectively providing two analog inputs total, though only one is a traditional balanced line-level input.
Capacity: The iD4 is a 2-in/2-out interface.
Line Out: It has a pair of 1/4" TRS jack outputs for speakers (2 line outputs).
In summary, for direct line-level input, you have 1 combo input on the back. You can technically use the DI on the front for a second input, but it is optimized for instruments.
Large-format console performance, in a petite, desktop, chassis, the Audient iD4 audio interface fortifies your studio with one of Audient's renowned Class A console mic preamps, a discrete JFET DI, class-leading conversion technology, two headphone jacks, and console-style monitoring control.
