About Audient ASP800

Make your audio recording experience superior with the ASP800 8-Channel Microphone Preamplifier with HMX and IRON. This audio powerhouse is engineered with scalability in mind, making it an ideal complement to your existing audio interface. Enhance your current setup with eight channels of Audient's Console mic preamps, eight line inputs, industry-leading converters, two JFET D.I's, and two Retro Channels equipped with robust tone control.

The ASP800 is an exceptional tool for expanding your existing interface. By adding eight channels of Audient mic pre via ADAT, you can transform your current setup into a comprehensive recording rig. This makes it easier to record drums and bands, take on larger sessions, and use line inputs to record analog instruments.

Experience the professional sound quality you deserve with the renowned Audient Console Mic Preamp. This discrete circuit design, found in our acclaimed recording console the ASP8024-HE, delivers ultra-low noise and low distortion with a touch of classic analog warmth. The ASP800's eight Audient Console mic pre's will provide you with the professional sound quality you've been seeking.

The Retro Channels feature allows you to add color to your audio. Designed to emulate tones often associated with 1960's tube designs and the coveted transformer zing of British audio in the 1970s, HMX & IRON give you the option to add analog tone to your recordings.

The ASP800 also offers two harmonically rich JFET D.I inputs, replicating the input stage of a classic valve amplifier. This allows you to plug in your guitar, bass, keyboard, or drum machine and start recording instantly.

The ASP800's industry-leading converter technology ensures that every nuance and detail of your audio is captured with stunning clarity. This, combined with its all-metal construction, hand-finished aluminum knobs, and high-grade component selection, makes the ASP800 a durable and powerful addition to any recording setup.

The ASP800 comes bundled with a free suite of creative software, including Cubase LE and Cubasis LE for iOS, alongside industry-leading plugins and virtual instruments. This allows you to start recording as soon as you open the box. With the ASP800 8-Channel Microphone Preamplifier with HMX and IRON, you're not just recording audio, you're creating a masterpiece.
