AudientASP800 8-Channel Microphone Preamplifier and ADC With HMX & IRON Enhancement Circuitry
1/10
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
ASP800 combines eight microphone preamplifiers with 24-bit AD/DA conversion in a unit aimed at studio and live-sound work. Each channel offers HMX harmonic enhancement and IRON processing, so harmonic content and analogue-style character can be adjusted per source. The channel facilities include phantom power, phase reverse, and a pad, alongside XLR and TRS line connections. An option slot accepts a Dante interface card when Ethernet connection to Dante-enabled equipment is required.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding eight microphone-preamp channels and conversion to professional studio or live-sound systems.
- Applying individually adjustable HMX or IRON processing to vocal, guitar, drum, and other recorded sources.
- Connecting to Dante-enabled consoles or audio devices after installing a Dante interface card.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Systems that require Dante networking without adding the optional Dante interface card.
