More info

ASP800 is a powerful audio equipment designed so that the user can make recordings with the highest professional level. ASP800 provides 8 channels equipped with the famous microphone preamplifiers that incorporates Audient's studio console, the excellent Burr-Brown converters, two JFET DI inputs, and two Retro channels with a revolutionary sound control system. Audient is the only company that uses the same Class A microphonic preamplifiers in its entire range of products, which ensures the same sound quality, with the ASP8024 console both in the studio and elsewhere, for example during a tour - with the ASP800. Developed by the legendary designer Davis Dearden, and optimized after 18 years, these excellent microphonic preamplifiers are used by thousands of professional studios around the world. Although it incorporates the cleanest preamplifiers on the market, the ASP800 is also capable of adding color to the sound, at the user's discretion, whether to fatten a bass or add brilliance to a voice, thanks to its revolutionary harmonic generation circuitry. Channels 1 and 2 incorporate the exclusive HMX and Iron controls that allow altering the harmonic content. Designed to emulate the sounds associated with the designs based on valves of the 60s and the coveted transformer sound of the British audio equipment of the 70s, HMX and Iron are capable of bringing a new dimension to the sound, providing warmth and brilliance. In addition, it is possible to combine both to find infinite variations on the sound. Valve sound lovers find a faithful ally in HMX, the control of custom harmonic distortion. Similar to the valve designs of the 60s, HMX provides a sweet and thick sound that can be applied with spectacular results to any source, from an electric guitar to a battery. Using discrete MOSFET technology, HMX produces asymmetric harmonic distortion that allows you to add richness and body to the pristino sound of Audient's microphone preamplifier, DI input or line input. Iron, Audient's new transformer saturator uses a British transformer associated with high-voltage NOSFET circuitry, designed to faithfully recreate the brilliant sounds of the recordings of the 70s. With a single control that simultaneously alters the impedance, the bass response, the damping at high frequencies, the phase shift, the magnetic saturation and the shape of the transients, Iron is able to immediately add brightness, strength and much more with just one turn of the button. ASP800 also incorporates excellent AD converters with a 118 dB dynamic, manufactured by Burr Brown, a leading firm in this field. In addition to its eight channels of microphone preamplifier, it also has two JFET DI inputs, with an exceptional harmonic richness, and which has been designed to replicate the input stage of a classic tube amplifier. The unit is made entirely of metal and has aluminum buttons.
