Audient ASP880 Microphone Preamp & ADC

The Audient ASP880 Microphone Preamp & ADC is an 8-channel microphone preamplifier & ADC that will transform your sessions into world class recordings. With sweepable high pass filters, switchable input impedance, balanced insert points and pristine analogue to digital conversion, the ASP880 is the perfect addition to your recording set-up.

Audient Console Mic Pres -The professional sound you deserve

The Audient is the only company that use the same Class-A mic pre design throughout their entire product range, whether you're in the studio with an Audient console or on the road with Audient ASP880, you're always guaranteed the same world class Audient sound.

Pristine Converter Technology

Brilliance on the inside enables brilliance on the outside. The Audient ASP880 Microphone Preamp & ADC provides you with the highest grade converters from Burr Brown, the leaders in converter technology. The integral ADC guarantees you will have the best conversion possible. This isn't just the best converter in a mic pre either, it stands up against dedicated converters too. Focus on the music and let the Audient ASP880 take care of the rest.

Expand - Grows with your needs

Transform your sessions into world class recordings with the Audient ASP880 Microphone Preamp & ADC, the perfect addition to your set-up. Bypass the mic pres and converters in your current interface and achieve the same audio excellence as the top studios.

Plug And Play - Plug in and be inspired

As well as offering you 8 channels of Audient mic pre, the Audient 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.

Variable Impedance - Get the best from your microphones

If you're partial to the character of ribbon mics, then the Audient ASP880 is made for you. Variable impedance allows you to match the pre to your favourite ribbon mic. Retain the punch and frequency response the mic was born with. It also works on your other mics, just more subtly.

Variable High Pass Filter - Quickly remove unwanted low frequencies

Get it right at the source and lose those unwanted low frequencies with a simple to use variable high-pass filter. Take control of low end rumble, reduce proximity effect and more by quickly sweeping anywhere between 25Hz and 250Hz. The result is a clean, ready to record signal.

Built To Last - Quality deserves protection

The Audient ASP880 has been designed to last, its all-metal construction and hand milled aluminium knobs will stand up to countless late nights in the studio and days on the road. All this in 1RU!
