The ASP008 is a compact, 1U rack-mount unit, featuring eight high quality variable impedance mic preamplifiers, developed from the renowned mic-pre design used in the ASP8024 recording console and the Aztec. All channels include XLR input, 48V phantom power, switchable input impedance, 25 - 250Hz hi-pass filter, phase reverse, as well as line input selection. Channels one and two also feature a -20dB attenuator and a high impedance instrument/DI input, on a jack on the front panel. LEDs provide indication of signal present and overload. A digital output option is available in addition to the standard balanced analogue outputs, making the ASP008 an ideal 'front end' to any DAW or Pro Tools system. The ASP008 made its UK debut on 15 October 2003 at the Hammersmith Apollo for the sell out tour of R&B sensations, Misteeq.
Frankfurt will also see the return of Audient favourites such as the ASP510 and ASP520.
