  • Page 4 Operation Manual Introduction Thank you for buying this Audient product. The ASP008 features eight ultra high quality microphone preamplifiers using an 8 transistor discrete Class A front end with extended bandwidth and a noise floor close to the theoretical Johnson limit. Carefully chosen close tolerance components are used to achieve high CMRR at all gain settings and distortion is minimised to less than 0.001% at 20dB gain and +10dBu output.

    To unbalance the outputs of the ASP008 the -ve Pin should be connected to its adjacent 0v pin at the output of the ASP008. Similarly, inputs from unbalanced sources should be connected via twin screened cables with the -ve Pin connection tied to the screen at the unbalanced source. ©audient 05/2008...
