The Audient ASP880 is an 8-channel mic preamp and AD converter designed to add Audients world-class sound into your DAW-based system.
The Audient ASP880 uses the same Class-A mic preamps found on the legendary ASP8024 console offering a vastly superior sound than preamps found in the majority of audio interfaces, delivering much more detail and excitement with a subtle analogue colouration. The ASP880 will give you the sound quality of recording studios in a portable 1U rack. The mic preamp is equally at ease with dynamic, condenser and ribbon microphones thanks to the variable impedance which will be matched to your favourite microphone, keeping the punch, frequency response and clarity of the mic. Two DI inputs are also included allowing you to plug your guitar bass or keyboard. High pass filtering, phase reversal and +48V phantom power are of course included too.
EQ and Compressor can be also be inserted in the recording chain thanks to the dedicated insert send and returns which allow you to use your favourite analogue processors before the analogue-to-digital conversion stage. The ASP880 features the highest Burr Brown converters available ensuring pristine AD conversion similar in quality to dedicated high-end digital audio converters.
The ASP880 delivers the sound quality associated with Audient throughout the years, as well as its solidity making it ideal for recording on the road. With an all metal construction and hand milled aluminium knobs the ASP880 is designed to last.
