Descripción

With the ASP8024 in production for nearly 20 years, and thousands of consoles in use around the world based on his legendary circuit blocks, we’ve returned to designer David Dearden’s roots to release the definitive version of the ASP8024 – the Heritage Edition. 20 years ago David set out to design an analogue recording console not knowing it was destined to become a modern classic. To commemorate Audient and his phenomenal achievement we have reimagined his classic design with all new enhancements and features.

World Class Mic Pres

The professional sound you deserve

We are the only company that use the same Class-A mic pre design throughout our entire product range, whether you’re in the studio with the ASP8024-HE or on the road with iD14, you’re always guaranteed the same world class Audient sound.

Variable Mix Bus

A mix bus with character

By utilising an american style output amplifier, classic through hole components and a British output transformer we bring you RETRO IRON, a variable output mix bus with LOW BUMP and HIGH LIFT EQ. Based upon two consoles from David’s first job in 1967 at the now legendary Advision Studios in London, RETRO IRON adds punch and ‘vibe’ to the consoles mix output. So whether your simply tracking, summing a few inputs or crafting a fully blown console mix RETRO IRON offers you that unique analogue console sound with a little bit of extra character that will put the final touch on any mix.

Splitable Four Band EQ

Flexible, powerful, musical

The incredibly flexible, Dearden designed EQ offers two fully parametric bands that span from 40Hz to 20kHz, offering a powerful and punchy sound. These are flanked by low and high shelving EQ bands (with a minimal signal path) that are perfect for adding weight and air to your source and when combined with the parametric EQ, make for the ultimate sculpting tool. Don’t forget, you can really take advantage of the EQ as it can be split across both the short and long faders, making us one of the only companies to offer this unique feature.

The Mix Bus Compressor

Make light work of your mixes

Based on technology from the 80s and 90s the ASP8024’s mix bus compressor is known for adding a rock and roll dynamic to your mix. Often likened to classic analogue boards, the ASP8024’s mix bus compressor provides that classic VCA ‘glue’ that will give your mix that ‘sounds like a record’ feeling. With improved circuitry and a slick new gain reduction VU meter for improved visual feedback (if you’ve used the ‘gentle needle bounce glue trick’ before, you’ll know exactly what we mean) it will fast become one of the most useful tools in your arsenal!

It doesn’t stop there! Introducing BASS EXPAND, a brand new high pass filter in the compressors side chain. BASS EXPAND will tighten up your mixes and add punch without destroying your low end, making it an ideal tool for bass heavy productions. We may have just made the most versatile mix bus compressor in the industry…

Modular Design

Select your perfect workflow

At Audient we understand buying a console can be an investment for life and that every feature needs to be exactly right for you and your studio. That’s why we made the ASP8024 one of the only modular consoles on the market – to best fit your requirements! Need a patchbay or DAW control or somewhere to simply put your screen? No problem! We have additional modules such as the Patchbay, Dual Layer Control and Producers Desk that can be added to fit your requested configuration and requirements.
