Q&A
Can I bypass the internal preamps to use external ones?
Yes. The "ADC" inputs accessible via the DB25 allow you to directly attack the converters at line level, without going through the internal preamps.
Are the inserts analog?
Yes. The first DB25 provides eight insert outputs/sends before conversion, and eight returns via the second DB25, allowing the insertion of analog processing between preamp and ADC.
How many independent headphone mixes can I create?
Up to four Cue mixes in addition to the Master. Each has its own settings and routing, which can be sent to the headphone/line outputs of your choice.
Is the latency suitable for live-monitoring recording?
Yes, the interface displays low latency, and the software allows direct monitoring.
Does the iD48 support Word Clock for an existing digital studio?
Yes, the interface offers BNC Word Clock input and output, allowing it to integrate as a clock master or slave.
Can I reamp or send stems to outboard?
Yes. The eight line outputs via DB25 allow you to send tracks from your DAW to external effects and then back via the ADC inputs.
