The Retro Channels

Add colour to your audio

Designed to emulate tones often associated with 1960’s tube designs and the coveted transformer zing of British audio in the 1970’s, HMX & IRON give you the option to add analogue tone to your recordings.

HMX

Harmonic saturator

By using discrete MOSFET technology HMX produces asymmetrical harmonic distortion, giving you the option to add richness and body to the pristine tone of the Audient mic preamp.

IRON

Transformer drive

Using a custom British transformer with a high voltage MOSFET drive network, IRON is designed to add saturation reminiscent of magnetic tape distortion and recreate that sparkly, “sounds like a record” signature of 1970’s recording.

How does it work?

One control simultaneously alters drive impedance, bass response, high frequency damping, phase shift, magnetic saturation and transient shaping, letting you instantly add character to your audio.

• Experiment by combining both HMX and IRON
• Works on the instrument and line inputs
• Add colour to the pristine sound of Audient mic pre

JFET Instrument Input

Plug and play

As well as offering you 8 channels of mic pre, ASP800 has two harmonically rich JFET D.I inputs. Designed to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, you can plug your guitar, bass, keyboard or drum machine and start recording instantly.
