With the ASP8024 in production for nearly 20 years, and thousands of consoles in use around the world based on his legendary circuit blocks, Audient returned to designer David Dearden's roots to release the definitive version of the ASP8024 - the Heritage Edition.

Large Format Recording Console
Re-imagining a classic, world-renowned design with new enhancements and features, the ASP8024-HE Heritage Edition from Audient is a 24-channel professional mixing and recording console with vintage style and modern engineering. Sporting 24 pristine, Class-A mic preamps, 24 record buses, two line inputs per channel, eight subgroups, and all the inserts, sends, and returns you could ever need, the ASP8024-HE is ready to tackle any serious recording task, while exuding the classic flare and warm, punchy sound expected of a top-class British mixing desk.

Audient Mic Pres
Designed by David Dearden (of DDA & Advision Studios) back in 1997 the Audient mic pre is an all discrete, high grade design that delivers low noise, low distortion, and high common mode rejection at all gain levels. Offering a faithful reproduction of the source with just enough colour to give the signal some character.

Variable Mix Bus
Moving through the signal path and coming after the muscular output of the John Hardy 990C+ summing amps - the Heritage Edition provides new tonal options with the Retro Iron output card. Featuring discrete class-A/B transistor amplifiers offering incredible detail coupled with two Carnhill transformers made in the UK. When these two stages combine they produce a punchy, harmonically exciting and ever-so-slightly gritty sound, perfect for adding character to your mixes.

Mix Bus Compressor
Based on technology from the 80s and 90s the ASP mix bus compressor is known for adding a rock and roll dynamic to your mix. Often likened to classic analogue boards, the ASP mix bus compressor provides that classic VCA 'glue' that will give your mix that 'sounds like a record' feeling

4-Band Splittable EQ
The incredibly flexible, Dearden designed EQ offers two fully parametric bands that span from 40Hz to 20kHz, offering a powerful and punchy sound. These are flanked by low and high shelving EQ bands, perfect for adding weight and air to your source, making for the ultimate sculpting tool. The EQ can be split across both the short and long faders, making Audient one of the only companies to offer this unique feature.

Customised to Your Individual Requirements. Completely Unique to You.
Audient understands that buying a console can be a lifetime investment, so every feature needs to be exactly right for you and your studio. That's why they made the ASP8024 one of the only modular consoles on the market - to best fit your requirements!

Need a patchbay or DAW control or somewhere to simply put your screen? No problem! The ASP8024 has additional modules such as the Patchbay, Dual Layer Control and Producers Desk that can be added to fit your requested configuration and requirements.

Channel Module
The ASP8024-HE preamps use a transformerless, eight transistor design delivering low noise, low distortion, and high common mode rejection at all gain levels... offering a faithful reproduction of the source with just enough colour to give the signal some character.

Master Module
The Master Module is the central control hub, allowing you to effortlessly glide around the console. Add mix bus processing, manage monitoring, create cue mixes, control sub-groups and stereo inputs, activate communications and more.

Additional Module: Dual Layer Control
DLC provides creative DAW control and automation along with eight moving faders that can be banked across your entire session. DLC also enables you to have 8 channels of VCA automation for adding movement and finesse during your console mix balances and more. A range of useful control features are also available at your fingertips including transport control, track record enable and plug-in selection/editing, all of which enable you to navigate your session with ease.

Additional Module: Patchbay
The heart of every great studio beats with flexible routing. Save time and money with the elegant single module, on-board patchbay for 24, 36 & 48CH consoles - constructed of high-quality Neutrik Bantam TT connectors. Our thoughtfully designed patchbay provides 144 user configurable points for integration of outboard, credenza racks or live room tie lines. These can be through-wired or half-normalled internally if required.

Additional Module: Surround Sound Integration
With the addition of a DB25 connection, the ASP510 easily integrates with the ASP8024-HE providing you with comprehensive monitor control for your 5.1 surround sound system.

Additional Module: 48-Bus Mod
The 48-Bus Mod provides an extra set of multi-track bus combining outputs, forming multi-track buses 25-48. The 48-Bus Mod can be fitted to 36-72CH consoles.

Optional VESA Mount
Quickly mount any 15-19" TFT screen (max. width 460mm) with Audient's military grade VESA mount option, chosen specifically to reduce the height of the screen, allowing it to sit below the speakers and provide you with better acoustics and improved phantom-centre imaging.

Optional Producer's Desk
The Producers Desk provides you with extra real estate on your console, letting you place a, computer, keyboard, mouse or even a control surface at the centre of your desk or off to one side for your assistant. This enables you to stay in the sweet spot when working ITB, thus speeding up your workflow and adding to your comfort. Traditionally the producer would sit at the PD to take session notes or annotate music scores alongside the engineer, make it work for you and take advantage of the beautifully included Walnut script tray on this option.

Flexible Routing
The ASP8024-HE makes signal flow a breeze with flexible routing, one knob per function, no menus or hidden features and no need to worry about latency - making working on the console fast, intuitive and most importantly, fun!

Refine your Workflow
The consoles inline architecture allows you to start building your mix as you're tracking. By using the long and short faders you can create separate record and monitor balances on one channel strip, all while being able access the consoles splitable EQ and aux sends, perfect for getting it right from the start.
