Audient id14 vs id225/27/2023 I still like the Focusrite brand though, especially their flagship Clarett models, but I don't have thunderbolt. The ID14 has optical input, incase you ever need to expand. It also has dedicated buttons for speaker, headphone and scroll wheel function.ģ. But what I really liked is the scroll wheel function which could be used for many things I'd imagine, like zooming in and out on your DAW screen, controlling plugins etc (The ID22 did not have this feature unfortunately). E.g the microphone gain knobs on the Audient look bigger and easier to handle, you get a better LED level metre display, which gives you a more accurate idea of what is happening. I like the layout of the ID14 better, it looks more solid and less fiddly to handle when compared to the Focusrite. Dunno about the ID4, but the ID14 gave me a lot of trouble with crackling noises when adjusting volumes. Also the frequency response is rated as flat within 0.5dB while the iD22 is flat within 0. Things I like about the ID14 over the Focusrite 2I2.ġ.The Audient microphone preamp designs are supposed to be the same ones as used in their mixing consoles.Ģ. The iD14 is good too, but was designed to use less power (to allow running on USB bus power) which is why its dynamic range is down by 4dB (but still a very healthy 116dB). I almost bought an Audient ID22, because it has inserts for analog gear, but the ID14 is a bit more scaled down. My opinion only as I have not used either.
