Mic & Line Inputs
The preamps of the ASP8024-HE use a
transformerless, eight transistor design to provide
a fast, clean sound with a little bit of colour when
pushed. An insert on both the mic and tape
inputs allows you to insert outboard gear into the
recording path or the playback / mix path.
1 METERS. The Meters show the level coming into
both the Mic/Line Input and the DAW/Tape Returns
enabling you to set a healthy signal level. They are
scaled in dBu.
2 INSERT ACTIVE. Activates the Insert for DAW/Tape
Returns, allowing you to add outboard gear into
your mixing path
3 Tape/Daw Trim. The Trim boosts or cuts the overall
level of the DAW/Tape Returns by ±15dB. Use to
gain stage input signals.
4 LINE. The Line Button swaps between the Mic and
Line Inputs.
5 MTR FLIP. Flips the source of the meters. By default
the large meter shows the DAW/Tape return and
the small meter shows the Mic/Line input.
6 INSERT ACTIVE. Activates the insert for the Mic/
Line Input.
7 GAIN. Applies gain to the Mic/Line Input to amplify
the signal. 6 to 60dB on Mic and -14 to 40dB on
Line.
8 Ø POLARITY REVERSE. Inverts the signal in the Mic/
Line Input. Useful if you are recording with multiple
microphones which may be out of phase with each
other.
9 48V. Turns on +48V Phantom Power locally for each
channel to power your microphones when needed.
10 HPF. Turns on the High Pass Filter to remove
frequencies below 75Hz in the Mic/Line signal.
