Equalisers
ASP4816 features HF and LF
shelving EQ matched with a
pair of fully parametric mids.
Musical and fl exible in its
operation, each section of
the EQ can be switched in
and out individually.
Adding to this fl exibility,
each section of the EQ can
be switched into either the
short fader or long fader paths, a useful
feature when both inputs require EQ
during mixing
Short Fader Controls
Fader, mix, pan, cut, solo and long fader
link controls for the short fader path.
Long Fader Controls
Fader, mix, pan, cut, solo and fader fl ip
for the long fader path.
Twin Channel Inputs
Each channel has an in-line architecture
with the mic/line input normally feeding
the record path and the DAW input
normally feeding the monitor path,
both of which can access the record
buses and the mix bus. Inputs can be
fl ipped between the two paths.
ASP4816 provides the key features of a large format recording console
in a compact, cost effective form. Designed by audio guru, David Dearden
and featuring Audient’s legendary analog circuitry, ASP4816 is the perfect
centre piece for production studios and educational facilities. The main
input channels feature Audient’s renowned Class A preamp and 4 band
EQ - a combination found in hundreds of ASP8024 equipped studios where
many users no longer feel the need to reach for their outboard preamps
and EQ. In addition, the console also features 40 faders,16 bus routing, 6
auxes, 2 dedicated cue sends, 4 stereo returns, stereo bus compressor and a
comprehensive monitor section.
Audient’s famed analogue sound and
fl exible operation in a compact format.
Record Buses
Record Buses are routed
via 8 switches with a shift
button to access buses 9-16.
The routing can be accessed
from either the short or long
fader paths, pre or post pan.
Signal Metering:
A 20 segment peak reading led
bargraph provides channel metering
for the DAW input, and a 3 segment
LED bargraph indicating signal present,
normal level, and overload, for the mic/
line input. The meter functions can be
reversed if required.
Inserts for Channels
Both the mic/line inputs and DAW
inputs have their own balanced inserts
with individual “inser t in” switches.
Auxiliary Buses
Rotary controls provide
the send levels for the 6
Auxiliary and Cue A and B
buses. The auxiliary sends can
be switched in pairs across
to the short fader path and
also in pairs between pre /
post fader. The cue sends
can be switched across
individually into the short fader path
and in pairs between pre/post fader.
The cue sends are normally used for
artists foldback purposes, although they
can be switched post fader if required
for extra sends.
A fl exible Auxiliary bus combining
facility on the Master module allows
the 2 independent signals within a
channel to access the same Effects
device. Should extra sends be needed
a single button push will allow the
short fader to become a post long
fader send with access to the 16 buses,
with or without panning

aux sends together
Studio
Source selection and level control
for Studio speakers and Foldback.
Control Room
Control Room Monitor source
switches provide a choice between
the Main Mix and three external
stereo sources. A 30 segment peak
reading led bargraph meter follows
the source selection. The Main
Monitor outputs are supplemented
by 3 sets of Alternate Speaker
outputs, each with its own level
control.
Sub Groups/ Line Inputs
ASP4816 has 8 independent sub
groups, each with an insert point

The output of each sub group/ line
input can be panned across the
mix, or even used as the record
signal to an 8 Track recorder,
metered by a 20 segment peak
reading led bargraph.
