This is in the analog domain and allows more headroom if you're micing a loud source with a sensivity mic. Most of my mics have pads and hi-pass built-in, but it doesn't hurt to have the option on the interface. PAD, Hi-Pass and Polarity switches for the preamps (iD14 has Polarity in the software mixer). If you want to delve in outboard preamps, compressor or EQ down the road, the iD22 is the best interface under 1000$ (RME Babyface Pro a close 2nd because it has genuine line inputs, but no inserts between preamps and converters) Balanced Inserts: The MOST important feature IMHO, it accomplishes two things, first you can insert a processor (compressor, EQ, whatever) between the preamp and converter, but also the Return gives you the purest path into the converters, something that is VERY hard to find as almost all interfaces with built-in preamps leave the preamps in the signal path when using the Line in. 2 extra line outputs (useful for example if you want to reamp something without sacrificing your monitor output, or switch between two outputs, or send a different mix to the performer, etc) DI input and headphones output on the front (more practical for most)
We hope this will help anyone who cannot decide which one of these excellent interfaces to go for.- Can run on bus power (need to use the power supply to get phantom power) Individual Polarity switches on the 2 inputs.
