Audient announced that it is previewing the soon-to-be-released ASP4816: Heritage Edition console that follows in the footsteps of the company’s flagship ASP8024-HE in offering a new look and several enhancements at the 2022 NAMM show at the Anaheim Convention Center (booth 11006).

“Since the release of the ASP8024-HE and the subsequent, ever-growing popularity of its Vintage Mix Bus processing, we’ve been receiving regular requests to add the same magic touches to the ASP4816 and that is exactly what we did,” says Audient marketing director Andy Allen. “The addition of the Vintage Mix Bus gives our customers the flexibility to add that much-0coveted analog color to their mixes and when utilised in tandem with the Mix Bus Compressor, they are the perfect tools to add the finishing touches to your mix.”

The new ASP4816-HE has a transformer drive alongside a low-bump and high-lift EQ, inspired by classic mastering equalizers, designed fo provide wider, more spacious mix bus tones. Another enhancement also found on the ASP8024-HE is the Bass Expand bus compressor Bass Expand. “This brand new high pass filter in the compressors’ side chain tightens up your mixes and adds punch without destroying your low end,” Allen adds.

The ASP4816-HE include the addition of a monitoring grade headphone amplifier; latching footswitch triggers for remote, hands-free talkback; an all-metal main output pot and a gain reduction VU meter. The Heritage Edition also sports the same new look of the ASP4816, but with the addition of a stylish dark ash wooden armrest.

The standard ASP4816 will continue to be produced, in tandem with the ASP4816-HE. To celebrate its 10 years in production, Audient has also taken the opportunity to redesign the aesthetics of the original ASP4816. From July it will come with an all new obsidian finish, improved labelling for easier navigation and white LED metering.

Both the new ASP4816 and the ASP4816-HE are expected to ship in July with pricing as follows:

ASP4816: US MAP $16999; UK £12000
ASP4816-HE: US MAP $19999; UK £14999
