8 channel microphone preamplifier with insert points and A/D converter

The ASP880 offers eight of the renowned audient ASP8024 Class-A console mic preamps developed by design legend David Dearden in unique quality. The 8-channel microphone preamp and AD converter is the perfect addition to existing recording setups such as the audient iD22 or iD14 and brings every session to world-class level.

Its outstanding Burr Brown conversion technology guarantees the best possible conversion of all signals with incredible detail. On just 1U rack, a comprehensive feature set, variable impedance, a variable high-pass filter and a metal housing with aluminium knobs complete the professional demands.
