Features
  • Eight High-Quality Console Mic Preamps: This rack-mounted unit delivers eight Class-A mic preamps derived from Audient’s renowned recording console design—designed for pristine, low-noise amplification with generous 60 dB gain, pad, phase, and phantom power control.

  • Retro Tone Control with HMX & IRON Saturation: Two of the preamp channels feature selectable tone coloration. HMX adds thick, asymmetrical harmonic richness using MOSFET-driven asymmetrical distortion, while IRON employs a custom transformer drive to emulate the classic “1970s tape and transformer zing.

  • Two Discrete JFET Instrument Inputs: Equipped with two front-panel JFET DI inputs designed to capture rich, amp-like character. These inputs offer high input impedance and clean gain, ideal for directly recording guitar, bass, keyboards, and more.

  • AD/DA Conversion & Expansion via ADAT: The ASP800 features premium Burr-Brown 24-bit / 96 kHz converters for accurate digital capture, along with ADAT optical output and word clock I/O—making it easy to expand your interface and maintain tight synchronization in multi-channel setups.

Why We Love This
  • Studio Upgrade That Changed My Mixes: Adding the ASP800 to my Mumbai studio was a game-changer. The clarity and depth it brings to vocals and acoustic instruments is unmatched. My clients instantly noticed the improvement in their recordings.

  • Perfect for Multi-Mic Sessions: Recording a live band in Delhi, I used all 8 channels—drums, bass, guitars, and vocals. Every track came out clean, detailed, and easy to mix. No noise issues, even at higher gain settings.

  • Warm, Musical Character with Retro Channels: The HMX and IRON settings add just the right amount of warmth and character. For a recent jazz session in Chennai, the horns sounded rich and vintage without losing clarity.

  • Reliable Gear for Long Sessions: I’ve run 12-hour recording days with the ASP800 in Bangalore and it hasn’t let me down once. Solid build, simple workflow, and a sound quality that makes artists excited to record.
