Audio professionals looking for the mojo of a large-frame console in a small form factor will be thrilled with the Audient ASP4816-HE Heritage Edition, an in-line, fully analog, recording and mixing console that provides everything you'd expect from a large-format recording console, but in a space-friendly footprint.

Built from the ground up, the console was designed by David Dearden and features his legendary analog circuitry. The Heritage Edition includes a vintage mix bus processor, John Hardy Op-amps, powerful new additions to the mix bus compressor, and much more. The ASP4816-HE is the perfect centerpiece of any production studio.

The Heritage Card
  • Retro Iron is engaged with the switches in the master fader section, and when inserted into the mix bus signal path, provides a massive headroom of +28 dBu into 600 ohms at the mix insert send output, perfect for driving a vintage mix bus EQ or Fairchild. You should try engaging the Retro Iron features half-way through a mix to give you a little lift
  • When combined, these stages provide a punchy, weighty sound that is not murky or slow, but harmonically exciting and ever-so-slightly gritty. Perfect for adding character to your mixes, where the output transformers provide just the right growl in the lower midrange for guitars.
  • Operating ahead of the discrete amplifiers, there is a powerful and delicately tuned EQ that changes the energy levels delivered to the harmonic output stage to sweeten and “tilt” the response of the console to the style of music you are working on. This EQ is based upon legendary Baxandall peaking filters with broad curves, using high-quality capacitors and exceedingly smooth, low-distortion modern amplifiers—the LM4562.
The Mix Bus
  • Add color and shape your mixes with the Vintage Mix Bus Processor. A discrete transformer drive produces a weighty, harmonically exciting and ever-so-slightly gritty sound, letting you add character to your mixes. Whilst a Low Bump and High-Lift EQ let you shape the response of the console to the style of music you are working on.
  • The introduction of the XFRMR Drive, Low Bump, and High Lift allows you to add weight and life to your mixes. This processing is added to the signal chain before the Mix Bus Insert and the Mix Bus Compressor. Audient recommends adding the XFRMR drive around halfway through the Mixing Process, just after you've got your levels and pans set how you want them. The Low Bump and High Lift are usually best added towards the end of the Mixing Process to add emphasis, but really can be added at any point since they are such wideband EQ changes.
  • When sending audio to the Mix Bus, you'll be sending your audio through a pair of discrete John Hardy 990C+ Op-amps as part of the summing circuit. This provides a number of benefits over the monolithic op-amps you may find on other consoles. Firstly, the noise floor of the Mix Bus with the 990C+ op-amps is vanishingly low, even when summing a large number of channels. Furthermore, the discrete design of the op-amps allows for a lightning-fast transient response, giving you an incredible amount of detail and punch and providing that “3D” sound that will bring your mixes to life.
Professional In-Line Analog Console
  • Designed to deliver ultralow noise and low distortion with a touch of classic analog 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 60 dB 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.
Mic Pre Technology
Designed by David Dearden (of DDA & Advision Studios) back in 1997, the Audient mic pre is an all-discrete high-grade op-amp design that delivers low noise, low distortion, and high common mode rejection at all gain levels, offering a faithful reproduction of the source with just enough color to give the signal some character.

 

  • Character: clean, punchy with a touch of warmth
  • Wide bandwidth: preserves your audios transient detail
  • Flexible topology: optimized gain range 0 to 70 dB gain
  • Low noise floor: 30,000 times quieter than the signal level
  • Circuitry: discrete Class-A high-grade op-amp design
  • Transformerless: RF immune input stage for detailed resolution
VCA Bus Compressor
  • Often likened to classic analog 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 control, auto-release settings, a VU gain reduction meter for better visual feedback, and the much coveted side-chained high-pass filter Bass Expand—designed to let you tighten up your mixes and add punch without compromising your low end.
4-Band Audient EQ
Powerful and musical

 

  • The massively flexible Dearden-designed EQ offers two fully parametric bands that span from 40 Hz to 20 kHz, are adjustable from -15 dB to + 15 dB 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.

Splitable

  • 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 Connections
  • The ASP4816-SE features an astounding amount of connectivity for such a compact frame size. With 48 channels, over 40 insert points, 8 sends, and 8 groups available on mixdown, the ASP4816-SE will handle the most comprehensive of mixing and tracking tasks.
  • 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.
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.
  • The console’s in-line architecture will let you start building your mix as you’re tracking. 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 console's splitable EQ and aux sends, ideal for getting it right from the start.
Monitor Control
A fully featured monitor control section offers full artist communication, footswitch enabled talkback control, solo in front, powerful source selection, and loudspeaker control with a short passive signal path for incredibly clear and accurate monitoring.

 

  • 4 stereo monitor outputs
  • Main mix + 3 stereo sources
  • 2 foldback outputs
  • Mono summing
  • Talkback functionality
Bigger Isn't Always Bigger
The ASP4816-SE utilizes clever circuit board design to provide you with the versatility and sound of a large-format recording console, but in a beautiful, space-conscious package, making it the ideal analog console solution for even the smallest of studios.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol
