Our console offerings

We offer two different types of consoles, both large and small format.

Large Format Recording Console

Small Format Recording Console

Small Format Recording Console

Modular Design

The perfect workflow

We understand investing in a console is an incredibly important decision and that every feature needs to be tailored to your curriculum and to your students. That’s why we made the ASP8024-HE one of the only modular consoles on the market, enabling you to customise any configuration to best fit your requirements.

Interactive Console Builder

How will you
build yours?

Configure your ideal console with our online console builder. Need a patchbay or DAW control or somewhere to simply put your screen? No problem! We have additional modules such as the Patchbay, Dual Layer Control and Producers Desk that can be added to fit your requested configuration and requirements.

Why Analogue?

There’s no arguing digital emulations have improved, but analogue still adds that magical sheen and polish we all want to give our music.

Sound

Many pros prefer to use analogue summing, dynamics and EQs due to the perceived warmth added by analogue circuitry.

Workflow

Ease of use is a big factor, there’s no menu diving, no hidden functions just a hands-on, one control per function organic workflow – letting you work faster.

No Latency

Many musicians can interpret latency even lower than 5ms when tracking and it gets worse when you start adding plugins and nested groups with parallel processing.

Audient Console Mic Preamps

The professional sound

Our commitment to maintaining consistent excellence sets us apart. Unlike any other company, we employ the identical Class-A mic pre design across our entire product range. Our intricately designed mic preamps are engineered to deliver unmatched performance, showcasing minimal noise and distortion characteristics, all while infusing a charming hint of classic analogue warmth.

How does it sound?

Audient Console mic preamps use high-grade discrete op amp technology, this exceptional design ensures a pristine, precise, and intricate translation of your sound, leaving no detail untouched.

Now that’s quiet

With a noise floor 30,000 times quieter than the signal level your recordings will be captured with stunning clarity.

Mix Bus Compressor

Drawing inspiration from the groundbreaking technology of the 80s and 90s, the Audient Mix Bus Compressor delivers a captivating infusion of rock and roll dynamics to enhance your mix. Often likened to classic analogue boards, the mix bus compressor provides that classic VCA ‘glue’ that will give your mix that ‘sounds like a record’ feeling. With improved circuitry and a slick new gain reduction VU meter for improved visual feedback it will become one of the most useful tools for your students.

Inline Flow

Experience inline architecture that empowers your student to craft their mixes in real-time during tracking sessions. With its intuitive long and short faders, you can effortlessly establish distinct recording and monitoring balances within a single channel strip. What’s more, this innovative design grants you immediate access to the console’s splittable EQ and aux sends, providing the ideal tools to achieve optimal sound right from the outset. And remember, with an inline console teaching signal flow is a breeze.

The Magic of David Dearden

The microphone preamplifier has historically been the most difficult circuit block to design and also the block where designers have striven to express their individuality and David Dearden has always been on a quest for musical transparency.

“An understanding of the circuit operation and current paths is required for best results and I’ve spent over 20 years striving for continuous improvement in our circuit design and how our products sound. To this day my mic pre design is still being used all over the world – I must’ve done something right! Think like an electron!”

Built to last

Engineered to survive everyday use, our consoles have become renowned for reliability and have been designed to withstand the demands of daily use.
