Microphone Preamps
Provides two classic hybrid console-grade microphone preamplifiers with a class-A front end to provide clean and musical signature.

Both input channels have a pad to handle hot levels, phantom power for condenser microphones, a high pass filter to remove unwanted low frequencies and a polarity switch to help you phase align your inputs. Channel two features a discrete JFET DI input for you guitars, synths and other instruments

I/O
Expands via the optical input and output connectors, supporting both ADAT and SPDIF. When tracking drums you can expand up to ten inputs via an eight-channel mic pre such as our ASP880 into the iD22 via ADAT. When working with your favourite outboard reverb, this can be connected in stereo via S/PDIF and integrated via the mixer app offering you a practical and flexible desktop package

Convertor Technology
Provides you with high performance AD-DA convertors from Burr Brown

Software Mixer
Enables internal routing, mixing and configuration of the interface in software. You can even label your channels 'console-tape' style for that authentic studio experience

Console Style Monitor Controller
Features built-in console style monitor control functions - Mono, polarity, dim, cut, speaker switching, talkback & cue mix monitoring

Expansion
The two fully balanced insert points give you the chance to add your processing prior to conversion. Insert your favourite compression and AEQ to build vocal chains that rival the very best. The insert return also gives you direct access to the analogue to digital convertors - providing the cleanest signal path possible, making it great for print-backs or integrating outboard line level sources

Control
Allows you to assign the functions you need to the three hardware function keys and allow the creativity to flow. The solid aluminium control knobs look and feel great, and the dedicated DIM and CUT controls give you the hands-on control that's familiar to large format console users

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
