Audient ASP4816-HE (Heritage Edition) – Compact Analogue Recording Console
Since the release of the ASP8024-HE and the subsequent, ever-growing popularity of its Vintage Mix Bus processing, we have been receiving regular requests to add the same magic touches to the ASP4816, and that is exactly what we did. Take a look below to find out what features we have added to make this mixing console more powerful than ever.
Audient has created the world’s first virtual console builder for anybody to try out. Suppose you are considering investing in an ASP8024-HE or want to specify the perfect console for your dream studio. In that case, we’re making it easier to configure – and visualise – your desk using the new virtual Console Builder on the Audient website.
