World-class audio – and incredible value

Do you spend hours EQing, trying to make your recordings sound good? Your front end may be the problem. If your mic preamps and converters are not up to snuff, it really doesn’t matter how good the rest of your kit is. A funky front end will degrade everything downstream. Highly respected for their world-class consoles, Audient gives you their superior technology and sound quality in a one-stop-shop 1U device. And it’s an incredible value.

Audient mic pres and Burr Brown converters onboard

The Audient ASP880 Microphone Preamp features eight of Audient’s acclaimed Class A console mic preamps – and believe us – they sound amazing. For the best possible conversion, you also get integral ADC with the highest grade converters from Burr Brown, a leader in converter technology. The result is stunningly transparent sound, with just a taste of coloration. It’s the ideal prescription for lackluster studio sound.

Versatile functionality to juice your workflow

The Audient ASP880 is fabulously versatile. It’s perfect with ribbon mics, with variable impedance that lets you match the preamp to your favorite mic to maximize frequency response and punch. Variable highpass filters are convenient for eliminating rumble and other unwanted LF artifacts. Insert points let you use your favorite compressor or other analog processor before the converters. The A-D button lets the unit function as an eight-channel mic pre while you use the converters separately in stand-alone mode. And with two great-sounding discrete JFET DI inputs, you can plug your guitar or bass straight in.
