Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built to expand an existing audio-interface setup, ASP880 puts eight Console microphone preamps, eight mic/line inputs, eight line inputs and outputs, and conversion into a 1U rack unit. Two front-panel JFET D.I. inputs provide direct connection for guitar, bass, keyboard, or drum machine. Its digital outputs include ADAT/SMUX plus AES and S/PDIF, while Word Clock I/O supports integration with a wider recording rig. It is a practical way to add channels for larger sessions, including drum recordings.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Expanding an existing recording interface with eight microphone-preamp channels in one rack space.
- Taking on larger recording sessions that need additional microphone and line-input capacity.
- Directly recording guitar, bass, keyboard, or drum machine through either JFET D.I. input.
