Audient Launches New Look And New Products For The New Year

January 6 2021, 18:00
With strict lockdowns again in place at the start of 2021, some companies have managed to stay busy and have new products to share with the world. UK-based Audient unveiled a brand new logo and corporate image, a redesigned website, and unveiled three new products, all particularly suitable to working from home. Either for creating music, podcasts or just communications, Audient launched redesigned mark II editions of the iD4 and iD14 USB-C audio interfaces, together with the brand new EVO Start Recording Bundle.
 

As the world of audio continues to evolve adapting to the ever changing circumstances of a global pandemic, Audient does the same, marking the next chapter of its journey with a brand new look and website, alongside the launch of three new products.  

"This represents a significant step in Audient’s evolution. Designing products that balance audio excellence and innovation continues to drive everything we do. Redefining our visual identity underlines our dedication to these ideals and helps to lay the foundations for what we hope will be a very bright future," says marketing director, Andy Allen, leading the charge.

To honor Audient’s brand transformation, the next generation (mark II) of two iD audio interfaces iD4 (MKII), iD14 (MKII) have been released, along with the brand new EVO Start Recording Bundle.

Audient has taken this opportunity to make significant upgrades to the audio performance and feature sets of both iD4 and iD14, making sure they are now comparable with its most powerful interface, the iD44. Both the iD4 (MKII) and iD14 (MKII) now provide 126dB of dynamic range on the DAC’s and 120 dB on the ADC stage, representing a huge step up in audio performance and ensuring users experience professional audio performance. As well as the improvements to the audio specs, new features have also been added.
 

The iD14 (MKII) audio interface is now completely bus powered via USB 3.0 and benefits from the addition of dual headphones outputs, two extra line outputs and a USB-C connection, making collaboration, connectivity and portability that bit easier. The compact iD4 (MKII) is also now USB 3.0 bus powered with a USB-C connection, both models now sport a modern gun-metal finish.

"Our customers can now enjoy improved audio performance, additional features and a stunning new aesthetic design. The best part is that both iD4 (MKII) and iD14 (MKII) come in at the same price as their predecessors, so they also get better value for money," says Andy Allen.

At the same time, Audient’s sub-brand EVO by Audient launched the EVO Start Recording Bundle. This comprises the existing EVO 4 audio interface, bundled with the SR1 large diaphragm condenser microphone plus shockmount and the SR2000, monitoring grade headphones. Given the success that the EVO interface range had during 2020 - when the range was also expanded with the new EVO 8 interface - launching a ready to use package makes complete sense, and the value of the EVO Start Recording Bundle is very obvious for anyone in need of a complete solution.
 

"EVO 4 was designed for beginners and pros alike. This bundle is simply an extension of that. Here you have absolutely everything you need to get started - right down to the cables - in one easy package ready to just plug and play," explains Allen. "Using the Smartgain to set your levels and controlling your session via the free EVO Control App on your computer, producing music or content couldn’t be simpler."

Pricing for iD4 (MKII) is Euro €149 and US$ 199 MAP. iD14 (MKII) is Euro €229 and US$299 MAP. EVO Start Recording Bundle is Euro €220 and US $249 MAP.
