Eight high quality preamps
I needed to expand my system and wanted to use dual adat (smux) for 8 channels of 96khz 24-bit audio.
There are a lot of products in this price range that does the job but the build quality and the preamps of audient gear is superior to a lot of other brands.
This is also leaves your digimaxes and octopres in the dirt (as I hoped for as it`s quite abit more expensive).
You get 8 channels of super high headroom pristine preampification and all the connectivity you can expect from a DA-converter and preamp unit of this price.
The DA conversion on this unit is way better than on my motu 828mk3 hybrid, the preamps also leave the motu ones in the dust.
Individual phantom power and pad on all channels is also great. It can lock to an external wordclock, sync via adat or be the master clock.
Channels 1 and 2 have built in Jfet driven DI`s which sound great with any instrument you throw at it and they also have two separate gain stages built in for coloring your sound giving a nice vintage vibe.
These gain circuits mimic some great preamps of old and are analog. You can add tons of drive, saturation and dirt if you want.

Amazing
I bought this ASP800 to add 8 preamps to my Orion Studio Synergy Core, which has 12 preamps. I couldn't be happier with EVERYTHING about this wonderful unit.
The quality is insane, the first two channels are insane, the price is insane too!
I couldn't believe my ears. Audient is a top brand with top products.
Can't recommend it enough!!

The Best!
This is one of the best preamps that I've ever used. I've made recordings with neve, grace, focusrite and many other professional preamps. Audient is really close to that quality with less money. Highly Recommended.

Awesome product for the price
I use this preamp in my home studio to track mainly drums but I used to track guitars, bass guitars and keyboards too, its quality and transparency in conversion is simply stunning every time. I'm really happy with it!!!

Audient did it again
What to say? I have ASP 880 and I needed more 8 class A channels so very obvious choice for me was to buy ASP 800. Sound is amazing, quality is very good. IRON and HMX options make it sound even better. You dont need anything better that this boy.

Great sounding
Really good sounding and easy to use. Ive mainly tracked guitar and drums on it. Can get a bit warm but as long as its got some room around it its fine.

Very good for the price!
It is really hard for me to find any downsides of this product, two interesting channels, very cool for DI. It is possible to get direct OUTs, so for instance recording guitar DI may to directly to AD, but also to direct out, what allows reamping at the same time possible. 6 very clean transparent channels. In general - great 8 preamps extension for your audio interface, you can't go wrong with that.

pures mic pres
I was really impressed with clarity using it on live instrument performance in a concert hall. Even compared to more expensive equipment! A "must have" for anyone who seeks perfection.
