The Audient ASP4816-SE is an in-line, full analog recording and mixing console providing everything you’d expect from a large format recording console but in a space-friendly footprint. Designed from the ground up by David Dearden and featuring his legendary analog circuitry, the ASP4816-SE is the perfect centerpiece for production studios.

Designed to deliver ultra-low 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.
