The professional sound you deserve

Tackle any project with the renowned Audient Console Mic Preamp, the same discrete circuit design found in our renowned recording console the ASP8024-HE. Designed to deliver ultra- low noise and low distortion with a touch of classic analogue warmth, ASP880’s eight Audient Console mic pre’s will give you the professional sound you deserve.

Integrate your outboard

Easily integrate outboard FX such as EQ and compression before the analogue to digital converter. Letting you record using your favourite outboard gear.

Clarity where you need it

Confidently capture your microphones and line level instruments with ASP880’s class leading converter technology. By providing the cleanest signal path possible, ASP880 makes sure you capture every nuance, every detail of your audio, letting you focus on getting the most from your session.

Plug and play

As well as offering you 8 channels of Audient mic pre, ASP880 has two harmonically rich JFET D.I inputs. Designed to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, you can plug your guitar, bass, keyboard or drum machine straight in and start recording instantly.
