Audient iD22

I've been using the Audient ID22 for 3.5 years, all in my home studio. Sound is good both in and out and I like the interface. The converters are really good for the price. It has a lot of capabilities in form of in and outs, even though I haven't used half of them since I don't have the need.

Sadly the interface broke down 3.5 years into use. A hissing sounds has appeared an after some research this has happened to a lot of users about 4 years into use. The build inside the interface is not great and easily causes capacitators to melt. I wish Audient would've taken more care when building this interface.

The warranty has expired and I was referenced to ship it for repairs on the other side of the country, at my own expense. This would run me the cost of at least a half new ID22, with no guarantee that it will last. The uncertainty and lack of assurance from their support will lead me to look for a new interface. Shame.

Spent a few weeks trying to look for a Pro sound card with really good AD/DA converters. And my Good Friend pointed me into the direction of Burr Brown converters. I use a TC finalizer express optical out going into the id22. and my mixes sound much brighter, have more punch, and the sound is crystal clear. Whatever sound goes in (AD) the "exact" sound comes back to you (DA) It really makes a huge difference. Im also going to use this for vinyl that i have restored to 24bit WAV files so I really wanted to find a sound card that can do this for me. And i found it. If you are thinking of getting this do yourself a favor and buy it, its a really great build and the sound and converters for the price are amazing. thanks thomann! and thanks audient!

This is seriously the best audio interface in the mid-price segment. Converters are top noch, mic preamps are great, DI input is great, the monitor controller is super handy and the software very easy to use.

Pros:
- Outstanding converters and preamps
- DI input is great
- Handy monitor controller with pristine sound
- Software driver is easy to use
- Very good price
Cons
- Pretty high crosstalk on the headphone output - maybe thats just my unit
- I wish they put the DI input and Headphone output at the front of the unit
- no on/off button

I own much more expensive Orion Antelope as well and Audient ID22 converters are definitely in the same ligue. I'm seriosly thinking about upgrading to the bigger brother iD44.

Apparently this is one of the best interfaces on the market in the mid-price segment. I'm not the one to be able to say that, since I only use it for playing VSTs and listening through monitors and headphones.
I previously had an UR22 mkII. Seeing how other people described the sound quality, I frankly expected to hear something wow. It is an improvement, the sound is more spatial, but it's subtle.
I basically got this interface for better headphone sound quality, instead of buying a headphone amp. It powers the Sennheiser HD58x (similar to HD660s in requirements) without any problems, with power to spare.
The latency is excellent, I can use 32 buffer size without any problems on my weak desktop processor.
All in all, my experience with it is excellent, stable, great sound, very low latency. I would recommend it.

What on earth had I been hearing the past few years... I can tell you for sure that it's not what I'm able to hear now! Clean, sheen and pristine Audio!
Steeping up from a Focusrite Scarlett to this has been one of the best things I've done for myself, my production, my monitors and an extra plus is that the headphone amp on this thing drive my Sennheiser HD600s perfectly, certainly piwerful enough for the job! The Dim and mute buttons are a goodsend... Thank you Audient, Thank you Thomann... Very happy customer indeed
DO NOT WASTE YOU'Re money on sub par interfaces... Buy cheap, buy twice.. So buy this and don't look back

Was looking for an audio interface to work with a mac which was not firewire. I choose this USB interface because of what I read about the converters. What I read was true, This has much better converters than my previous interface.

Built in micpres are really good too, as well as the head phone amp! The build is very solid and the software worked right out of the box.

One of the best things about the unit is the support from Audient. My questions were handled personally by someone who really knows the unit.

I am very satisfied with the iD22. My microphones may change but the interface will stay. If you are looking for a great quality interface - I can highly recommend this one!
