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 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.
This is the first of a range of products in the Interface Series to be launched by Audient. "We expect the next two products in this range to be shipping by the end of the year," said Audient's managing director, Gareth Davies.
Audient has now completed the final stages of the company's restructure, with the remaining members of the Audient and LA Audio team settling into the new headquarters at Herriard Park, UK, in August.
