The Professional Sound You Deserve
Audient Console Mic PresThe ASP800 Audient Console Mic Preamps include the same discrete circuit design featured in the renowned recording console the ASP8024-HE. Made to deliver ultra-low noise and low distortion with a twist of classic analogue warmth, the ASP800 gives you the professional sound you deserve.
The Retro ChannelsDesigned to replicate tones often associated with 1960’s tube designs and the coveted transformer zing of British audio in the 1970’s, HMX & IRON give you the option to add analogue tone to your recordings.
Harmonic saturatorBy using discrete MOSFET technology, HMX produces asymmetrical harmonic distortion, giving you the option to add richness and body to the pristine tone of the Audient mic preamp.
Transformer driveUsing a custom British transformer with a high voltage MOSFET drive network, IRON is made to add saturation reminiscent of magnetic tape distortion and recreate that sparkly, “sounds like a record” signature of 1970’s recording.
How does it work?One control simultaneously changes drive impedance, bass response, high frequency damping, phase shift, magnetic saturation and transient shaping, allowing you to instantly add character to your audio.
JFET Instrument InputAlong with offering you 8 channels of mic pre, ASP800 has two harmonically rich JFET D.I inputs. Designed to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, you can plug your guitar, bass, keyboard or drum machine and start recording instantly.
Class leading convertersASP800’s class leading converter technology ensures you capture every nuance and detail of your audio with stunning clarity, allowing you to focus on getting the most from your session.
All Metal ConstructionMade from an all-metal construction, hand finished aluminium controls and high grade component selection, ASP800 packs a powerful feature set into an ergonomic 1RU rack mount.
