And this is where the ASP008 really excels. Audient claim that distortion is less than 0.001% with 20dB gain, and it's certainly The ASP008 is a compact, 1U rack mount unit featuring eight ultra high quality mic preamplifiers developed from the renowned mic-pre design used in the acclaimed ASP8024 recording console. The design uses an 8 transistor discrete Class A front end with extended band-width and a noise floor close to the theoretical Johnson limit.
