A powerful, flexible and intuitive console, ASP8024 brings superb audio performance from one of the world's most experienced and successful console engineering teams. David Dearden and Gareth Davies, the founders of DDA, have pooled their combined experience of over fifty years to produce a console that provides sound quality and features normally associated with consoles with a higher price tag.
Looking through the specifications it quickly becomes obvious that nothing has been skimped at all: the inputs and outputs are all electronically balanced, insert points feature separate send and receive sockets, and the bandwidth, noise, distortion, crosstalk, and headroom figures are all exemplary!
