I really like my 880. My setup is a Motu AVB interface so I only need the preamps not the A/D conversion, so I just go out the analog outputs to my interface. It's a great companion to my other preamps which are Neve and API inspired, and often use them on cymbal and drum overheads to get a good clear sound and the HPF is really handy.

This is very interesting indeed and comes exactly when I’m looking into some better preamps for tracking. Guess I’m going to message Audient to get some more info

you will love it

I love My two ASP880 and i think i need the ASP800

I have been seriously thinking about buying this 8-channel audience preamp since last year. But this model has been available since 2014. I am somewhat afraid of buying it and the next month seeing a new updated rack. Or worse yet, have it discontinued. This 880 is a wonderful rack. It has everything I need. pre super clean and AD switchable. I would have liked the PAD -20db button on all channels and not just 1 and 2. With this it would have been really perfect.

We definitely want a MKII version . What do you think guys, are those one worth with the release of the evo sp8 ?

Please MKII

Why?

Is this the same League like the SSL Puredrive Quad/Octo...?

We've not tried the SSL Puredrive so cant comment on its performance but in terms of functionality the ASP880/ASP800 provide 8 channels of super clean mic pres with the ASP800 giving you saturation options and the ASP880 giving you useful input conditioning such as sweepable high pass filers, Pads and variable input impedance.

*I am confused, can I not use this device to expand my existing set up using the ADAT in i/o and expand my rig 8in 8out analog, so I can connect all of my outboard gear?*

the ASP880 and ASP800 are input devices only so it will give you 8 extra inputs via ADAT but no additional outputs. If you do need to add 8 I/O via ADAT then the EVO SP8 would be the perfect choice instead!

What are the pros and cons of clocking via ADAT vs a dedicated BNC cable? I am currently running a Clarrett+ 8pre connected to my ASP800 via ADAT and clocking from the ASP. Would there be any benefit to connecting via the word clock out and clocking from the Clarett? Thanks

The main benefit would be that if you change sample rates on the Clarett, then the ASP800 clocked over BNC would also change sample rates automatically. If using the ASP800 as the master clock then you would need to manually change sample rate.

Thanks@@Audientworld so no real improvement in sound quality, just convenience? Or would it depend which unit has the better clocking?

Both devices will have high quality clocks so you're very unlikely to notice any audio improvement by changing the clocks source, even if the clock jitter values are slightly different

How i can use it wit twin x quad? Because there is no world clock aparat on twin x

With the Twin, you would need to use the ASP880/ASP800 as the master clock and setup the Twin to sync to the ADAT connection.
