Audient Asp802448 Professional Analog Mixing Console
Product Info
A powerful, flexible and intuitive console, ASP8024 brings superb audio performance from one of the world's most experienced and successful console engineering teams. David Dearden and Gareth Davies, the founders of DDA, have pooled their combined experience of over fifty years to produce a console that provides sound quality and features normally associated with consoles with a higher price tag.
Manufactured in the UK. The 80/24-48 has 48 channels in blocks of 12 with 100mm ALPs faders, and a mix B path with 60mm faders. The EQ is 4-band with high and low shelving and swept mids, 14 aux sends, 24 track routing, inserts on big and small faders, EQ split, balanced inserts with in/out switch, sends can be used as direct outputs, all inputs and outputs are balanced, integral LED meter bridge, 4 stereo aux returns, oscillator, and talkback.
There is also a dedicated and happening stereo compressor on the stereo bus, a versatile monitoring matrix with switching for 4 sets of speakers, and separate scribble strips for main faders and small faders. Flying faders automation is available as an additional option for all sizes of ASP 8024 consoles. 3U rack mounting separate PSU. Clean, quiet, transparent, powerful EQ. Today, digital equipment is really very good - for some things. However, Audient believes that the 'digital' solution is not universally 'best'. Music recording consoles are an example. For primary recording, the inadequacies of existing digital formats are well recognised. DSD, 96kHz and 192kHz all move the digital recording path a little closer to what is possible with the best analogue signal processing. The ASP8024 is the result of a research and development programme that was driven by the simple goal of establishing a new 'standard' in cost effective analogue recording -delivering a product that is truly 'technology proof' while at the same time providing the accepted and familiar functionality and performance of existing 'high-end' large scale systems.
Far from a retrograde step, analogue mixing provides the clarity and quality demanded of the best ears in the business for both tracking and mixing stages and ASP8024's future-proof design ensures its continued compatibility and seamless integration with digital equipment.
Moreover, thanks to innovative design and construction processes, ASP8024 delivers exceptional audio quality and features at an unrivalled price.
