METERS
The Meters show the level coming into both the Mic/
Line Input and the DAW/Tape Returns enabling you to
set a healthy signal level. They are scaled in dBu.
INSERT ACTIVE
Activates the Insert for DAW/Tape Returns, allowing you
to add outboard gear into your mixing path.
TAPE / DAW TRIM
The Trim boosts or cuts the overall level of the DAW/
Tape Returns by ±15dB. Use to gain stage input signals.
LINE
The Line Button swaps between the Mic and Line Inputs.
MTR FLIP
Flips the source of the meters. By default the large meter
shows the DAW/Tape return and the small meter shows
the Mic/Line input.
INSERT ACTIVE
Activates the insert for the Mic/Line Input.
GAIN
Applies gain to the Mic/Line Input to amplify the signal.
6 to 60dB on Mic and -14 to 40dB on Line.
POLARITY REVERSE
Inverts the signal in the Mic/Line Input. Useful if you are
recording with multiple microphones which may be out
of phase with each other.
48V
Turns on +48V Phantom Power locally for each channel
to power your microphones when needed.
HPF
Turns on the High Pass Filter to remove frequencies
below 75Hz in the Mic/Line signal.
The preamps of the ASP8024-HE use a transformerless,
eight transistor design to provide a fast, clean sound with
a little bit of colour when pushed. An insert on both the
mic and tape inputs allows you to insert outboard gear
into the recording path or the playback / mix path.
NOTE
0VU = +4dBu = 1.23Vrms = -14dBFS
CLIPPING / OVER indicates levels of +18dBu
or more.
Calibrate your converters to +18dBu = 0dBFS
for digital line up, otherwise known as +4dBu =
0VU = -14dBFS.
