Professional In-Line Analog Console

Designed to deliver ultralow noise and low distortion with a touch of classic analog warmth, ASP4816-SE’s 16 discrete hybrid Class-A preamps are ready to handle any microphone, instrument, or source you can throw at it.
With a flexible topology, offering up to 60 dB of gain and an incredibly wide bandwidth, ensuring your transient detail is accurately preserved in stunning resolution, the Audient preamp gives you a versatile and flexible solution ready for any session.

Mic Pre Technology

Designed by David Dearden (of DDA & Advision Studios) back in 1997, the Audient mic pre is an all-discrete high-grade op-amp design that delivers low noise, low distortion, and high common mode rejection at all gain levels, offering a faithful reproduction of the source with just enough color to give the signal some character.

Character: clean, punchy with a touch of warmth
Wide bandwidth: preserves your audios transient detail
Flexible topology: optimized gain range 0 to 70 dB gain
Low noise floor: 30,000 times quieter than the signal level
Circuitry: discrete Class-A high-grade op-amp design
Transformerless: RF immune input stage for detailed resolution

VCA Bus Compressor

Often likened to classic analog boards from the 80s, the Audient mix bus compressor does far more than just control levels, it adds weight, depth, and warmth to your mix as well as helping to glue your production together for a more polished result.
Featuring adjustable ratio and threshold controls, auto-release settings, and a gain reduction meter, the Audient mix bus compressor is more than equipped for adding those final touches to any production.

4-Band Audient EQ

Powerful and musical

The massively flexible Dearden designed EQ offers two fully parametric bands that span from 40 Hz to 20 kHz, are adjustable from -15 dB to + 15 dB and offer an adjustable Q control. These are flanked by low- and high-shelving EQ bands with the ability to engage the ‘Air’ button for that often-needed finishing sheen.

Splitable

The EQ can also be split across both the short and long faders, meaning you can EQ both your mic inputs and DAW returns at the same time, making it incredibly easy to start building your mix from the moment you start recording.

I/O Connections

The ASP4816-SE features an astounding amount of connectivity for such a compact frame size. With 48 channels, over 40 insert points, 8 sends, and 8 groups available on mixdown, the ASP4816-SE will handle the most comprehensive of mixing and tracking tasks.
And with so many sends, buses, and inserts available, when partnered with a suitable patchbay, the ASP4816-SE offers an incredible number of routing options for creative bouncing, summing, and parallel processing all with none of the problematic phase and latency issues that digital systems can have.

Flexible Routing

The ASP4816-SE makes signal flow a breeze with flexible routing, one knob per function, no menus or hidden features, and no need to worry about latency—making working on the console fast, intuitive, and most importantly, fun.
The console’s in-line architecture will let you start building your mix as you’re tracking. By using the long and short faders, you can create separate record and monitor paths on one channel strip, all while being able access the consoles splitable EQ and aux sends, ideal for getting it right from the start.

Monitor Control

A fully featured monitor control section offers full artist communication, footswitch enabled talkback control, solo in front, powerful source selection, and loudspeaker control with a short passive signal path for incredibly clear and accurate monitoring.

4 stereo monitor outputs
Main mix + 3 stereo sources
2 foldback outputs
