ASP800 is an audio powerhouse designed
to transform your sessions into world class
recordings, making it the perfect addition to
your audio interface.
ASP800 provides 8 channels of Audient’s
renowned console mic preamps, class-
leading Burr-Brown converter technology,
two JFET D.I’s and two
RETRO channels with
revolutionary tone control.
ASP800 uses a custom power toroid and
linear power supply that provides a very low
noise floor, and the unit itself is completely
silent due to the fanless operation.
RETRO Channels 1 & 2 feature two
unique variable harmonic colour controls
per channel -
HMX
&
IRON
. Designed to
emulate tones often associated with 1960’s
tube designs and the coveted transformer
zing of British audio in the 1970’s, HMX &
IRON will add new dimension to your audio
by providing warm, sparkly tones. Better still,
you can combine them to get anywhere in
between!
Just plug in your mics, guitars, keyboards
and drum machines and you’re ready to go,
so GET CREATIVE and start thinking BIG!
ASP800 is a great recording tool, but with
our new HMX & IRON colouration tools, it
also makes a great mixing tool too!
