Audient Introduces Dual Layer Technology with ASP2802
Console designer and
manufacturer Audient launched ASP2802
at this
year’s Pro Light & Sound exhibition, a sleek, eight
channel console combining classic analogue features
with extensive DAW integration and control. Heralding
the arrival of Audient’s Dual Layer Technology, the
ASP2802 fully integrates with the computer system,
enabling the user to switch effortlessly between the
analogue layer – the traditional mixer path travelling
through the console - and the DAW layer within the
computer session.
Steve Flower, Product Support and Development at
Audient explains the thinking behind the design. "Zen
was a milestone in the industry: the first automated
analogue console at a price that didn't break the bank.
ASP2802 follows in its footsteps, adding much deeper
DAW integration further bridging the gap between
analogue and digital." Behaving like no ordinary eight
channel desk, the compact design of the ASP2802 also
belies a fully functioning master section based on the
design of the now classic ASP8024, and shares the same
mic preamp topology and bus compressor design, not
usually available on other such compact consoles.
With a massive 28 inputs at the mix stage – achieved
using the Alternate switch for an extra input per
channel, 8 summing inputs and 2 stereo FX returns – the
ASP2802 comes in at a very moderate price. “The modern
production room now has another very real alternative
to the large format console,” says Luke Baldry, Sales
& Marketing Director at Audient. “Anyone with
budget and/or space constraints will find the ASP2802
fits the bill. It’s perfect for those users who want to
combine an analogue console and fully featured
controller all in one space, at the centre of their
studio” he adds.
