Operation Manual
Introduction
Thank you for buying this Audient product.
The ASP008 features eight ultra high quality microphone preamplifiers using an 8
transistor discrete Class A front end with extended bandwidth and a noise floor close
to the theoretical Johnson limit. Carefully chosen close tolerance components are used
to achieve high CMRR at all gain settings and distortion is minimised to less than
0.001% at 20dB gain and +10dBu output.
This outstanding technical performance delivers a mic amp with incredible transparency
and detail without colouration or other unwanted artefacts.
Each Mic amp also features switchable input impedance, allowing the user to explore
the subtle variations in microphone character that are determined by output termination.
All channels include an XLR input, ‘soft start’ 48V phantom power, switchable input
impedance, 25-250Hz hi-pass filter as well as line input selection. Channels 1 and 2
also feature a 20dB attenuator and a high-impedance Instrument/DI input on a front
panel mounted jack. LEDs provide indication of signal present and overload. Digital
output options are available in addition to the standard balanced analogue outputs,
making the ASP008 an ideal “front-end” for any DAW or ProTools system .
We have designed this equipment to provide you with the best possible tool to deal
with today’s demanding requirements. We have taken a great deal of pride and care
in the manufacture of this equipment so that it will provide consistent and reliable
