评论:Audient ID22 USB音频接口

What do you get when a company best known for its high-end studio consoles and monitoring solutions makes a USB audio interface and monitoring box? Hollin Jones finds out.  

Audient也许是最出名的是它的工作室游戏机和高端显示器控制器和前置放大器,但现在这家英国公司带来了其专门知识的一个完全更紧凑的单元旨在让那些规模较小的工作室进入其世界级的声音上。该ID22是较为怎么回事,可能首先满足眼睛的USB音频接口和监控系统。深入挖掘信息,以及你会发现丰富的不正常与紧凑的音频接口相关的功能。

The build quality of the iD22 is excellent and it feels extremely robust and solid despite its small size and portability. 

在ID22的建设质量是优良的,感觉非常强大,坚实,尽管它的体积小,便于携带。物理控制都让人联想到老式硬件和感觉非常专业,流畅,准确。前面板包含两个输入通道控制,每一个都有一个增益控制和物理翻转开关幻象电源,-10 dB衰减,极性开关和一个高通滤波器处理的隆隆声和爆破音。大和令人放心的固体显示器增益旋钮坐在一个四段级LED显示屏的下方和右侧是耳机增益旋钮。三个可分配功能开关可设置控制软件路由变更和类似的任务,并有物理点心和剪切按钮。

Simple but powerful controls and an incredibly high quality finish.

简单但功能强大的控件和一个令人难以置信的高质量完成。

本末

There are two balanced insert points for incorporating external outboard hardware into the signal chain, which is rare on such a small unit. 

绕回来你会发现一台主机的I / O,使ID22特别灵活。那里有一个电源输入和USB2连接到您的Mac或PC,以及两个组合XLR输入,其中有一个JFET DI输入,用于连接吉他一样高增益源的第二位。四个独立的输出可用,每个通过喂养它自己的DAC和这些都可以用来发送单独的监听混音表演者或连接第二组监听音箱。有两个平衡插入点为集成外部硬件外侧进入信号链中,这是罕见的在这样一个小单元。所以,如果你有一个硬件处理器(混响,压缩等),它可以很容易地引入。它的扩展也得益于包括光学I / O同时支持ADAT和S / PDIF协议。所以,你可以,例如,由来自一个八通道话筒前置放大器在光学喂养添加到10个输入。

软件应用程序

该混频器的应用程序是在那里你可以得到真正的创意与路由,其设计精美。通道可以连接和断开链接,提示水平和平移可以设置和颜色编码可以帮助您跟踪什么被送到哪里。在系统面板中,您可以设置对讲,修剪和昏暗的水平,并使用路由矩阵能够简单,轻松地分配模拟的精确路由和数字输出。

A nicely designed mixer app gives you much greater control over the unit’s routing.

一个很好的设计混频器的应用程序为您提供了更大的控制权的单位的路由。

麦克风压力和转换器的ID22是优秀的,和延迟,虽然不是严格为零,是非常低的,并没有明显的在我们的测试。录音质量,当然是完美无瑕的,并采取巧妙的数字调音台的应用程序的优势,我们能够很容易地创建特定的监听混音。这是一个非常精心设计的音频接口,这将帮助你不仅得到极大的录音,也包括外部硬件和其他数字信号源到您的会话。一个严重的一块包,并以合理的价格。

Has anyone, Hollin included, had any experience comparing the iD22, UA Apollo and/or SPL Crimson's converters and pres? Or, even as far as features and build quality, what's your experience? I do have an Apollo Quad but want to get a smaller box in addition to it. While pleased with the Apollo, I'd like to evaluate these other options too, while in the market for a smaller interface. I ideally want something of similar or better quality. I know it's subjective but that's what I'm asking for, your opinions.
