Audient Console Mic Pres
The professional sound you deserve
Designed to deliver ultra-low noise and low distortion with a touch of classic analogue 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 60dB 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.
How does it sound?
The Audient mic pre is a high grade hybrid discrete and op amp design that delivers a clean, accurate and detailed translation of your source.
Now that’s quiet
With a noise floor 30,000 times quieter than the signal level your recordings will be captured with stunning clarity.
VCA Bus Compressor
Bring it all together
Often likened to classic analogue boards from the 80s, the Audient mix bus compressor does far more than just control levels, it adds weight, depth and warmth to your mix as well as helping to glue your production together for a more polished result.
Featuring adjustable ratio and threshold controls, auto-release settings and a gain reduction meter, the Audient mix bus compressor is more than equipped for adding those final touches to any production.
4-Band Audient EQ
Powerful, musical, splittable
The massively flexible Dearden designed EQ offers two fully parametric bands that span from 40Hz to 20kHz, are adjustable from -15db to + 15dB and offer an adjustable Q control. These are flanked by low and high shelving EQ bands with the ability to engage the ‘Air’ button for that often needed finishing sheen.
Splittable EQ
The EQ can also be split across both the short and long faders, meaning you can EQ both your mic inputs and DAW returns at the same time, making it incredibly easy to start building your mix from the moment you start recording.
I/O
Make a connection
The ASP4816-SE features an astounding amount of connectivity for such a compact frame size. With 48 channels, over 40 insert ponts, 8 sends and 8 groups available on mixdown the ASP4816-SE will handle the most comprehensive of mixing and tracking tasks.
Your workflow, your way
And with so many sends, buses and inserts available, when partnered with a suitable patchbay the ASP4816-SE offers an incredible number of routing options for creative bouncing, summing and parallel processing all with none of the problematic phase and latency issues that digital systems can have.
Workflow
Flexible Routing
The ASP4816-SE 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!
In-line Architecture

By using the long and short faders you can create separate record and monitor paths on one channel strip, all while being able access the consoles splittable EQ and aux sends, ideal for getting it right from the start.
Monitoring Control
All within an arm’s reach
A fully featured monitor control section offers full artist communication, foot-switch enabled talkback control, solo in front, powerful source selection and loud speaker control with a short passive signal path for incredibly clear and accurate monitoring.
