We partnered with @Audientworld on their ASP800. This is a really cool 8 channel ADAT expander that has 2 distinct saturation models built right in! No digital emulations, these are real MOSFET drives and custom transformers to give you that analog warmth with the first 2 channels.
Being the DEFINITIVE review you'll find on RU-vid, we explore the technical specs and quirks of the Audient ASP800, having an opportunity to speak to a member of the technical team at Audient. We also explore how the clean pre compares to the IRON and HMX saturation circuits on a variety of sources! We got male & female vocals, violin, acoustic guitar, and even how it sounds on drum overheads.
Thanks to @theinventory for sending this across!!!
