Audient iD4 MkII | Reviews F or truly compact audio interfacing on the move, Audient’s recent EVO series has much to offer and I was really impressed by the slickness of the design. However, if you’re after a more audiophile experience their iD desktop range has always been a good bet. Up for review I have the new iD4, which, alongside its sibling iD14, has been given a mk2 upgrade, and now features better dynamic range, improved signal to noise ratio and a beefed up headphone output.
