The 72-channel version requires two ASP8120 Ultra power supplies, both included. The preamp circuit, EQ topology, Retro Iron mix bus, and VCA bus compressor are identical across all Heritage Edition configurations; what the 72-channel format delivers is simultaneous access to every signal source in a large-scale session without patchbay reconfiguration — the natural territory of orchestral recording, large ensemble tracking, and permanent high-throughput studio installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eIn-Line at Scale — 160 Inputs From a Single Console\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIn the 72-channel configuration, the in-line architecture delivers 160 inputs to the stereo bus at mixdown: two independent signal paths per channel (long fader for mic\/line, short fader for DAW or tape return) plus four stereo returns in the master section. The four-band Dearden EQ — two fully parametric mid bands spanning 40 Hz to 20 kHz with ±15 dB and variable Q, flanked by low and high shelving bands — is splittable independently per channel: it can be assigned to the mic\/line path or the tape return path without affecting other channels. Fourteen aux sends (12 mono plus 2 cue) accessible on both fader paths per channel allow simultaneous management of studio headphone feeds, outboard effects, and stem routing across all 72 strips. Penny \u0026amp; Giles 8000 series faders are fitted on every channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eRetro Iron, VCA Compression, and Installation Modularity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Retro Iron circuit — Carnhill output transformer and John Hardy 990C discrete op-amp on the stereo bus — operates identically to smaller HE configurations: independently switchable Retro and Iron modes, each adding a distinct character, with Low Bump and High Lift mix bus EQ available before the output faders. The VCA stereo bus compressor with adjustable threshold, ratio, auto-release, and GR metering operates post-insert, pre-fader. The console is semi-modular: each of the six 12-channel bays and the master section are independently serviceable and replaceable. Bay order, master section position, patchbay integration, DLC placement, and Producer's Desk inclusion are all determined at order — every unit is hand-assembled to specification at Audient's Hampshire factory. At 72 channels, power is distributed by two ASP8120 Ultra supplies running in parallel, both deployable in the control room without a separate machine room, thanks to low-noise transformers and low-RPM fan cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e72-channel in-line, 24-bus routing, 160 inputs to stereo bus at mixdown\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e72 discrete Class A mic preamps (Dearden design) — same circuit used across all Audient products\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e4-band splittable EQ per channel: 2 parametric bands (40 Hz–20 kHz, ±15 dB, variable Q) + 2 shelving\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRetro Iron: Carnhill transformer + John Hardy 990C output amplifier, Low Bump \/ High Lift EQ on mix bus\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eVCA stereo bus compressor — adjustable threshold, ratio, auto-release, GR meter\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e14 aux sends (12 mono + 2 cue), 8 subgroups, 4 stereo FX returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e5 pairs of monitor outputs (Main + 3 Alt + Studio LS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePenny \u0026amp; Giles 8000 series faders throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSemi-modular layout — six 12-channel bays + master, each independently serviceable\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTwo ASP8120 Ultra power supplies included — control room installation, low noise, low-RPM fan\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBuilt to order: bay order, master position, patchbay, DLC, Producer's Desk, armrest, top trim all configurable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eChannels: 72 (160 inputs in in-line configuration)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBuses: 24-bus, 8 subgroups, 14 aux (12 mono + 2 cue)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFrequency response, mic in to mix out: +0 \/ -0.3 dB, 20 Hz–20 kHz (at 6–40 dB gain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFrequency response, line in to mix out: +0 \/ -0.3 dB, 20 Hz–20 kHz (at 0 dB gain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTHD+noise at +20 dBu output (mic in): below 0.005% at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTHD+noise at +20 dBu output (line in): below 0.005% at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTHD+noise at +20 dBu output (tape in): below 0.003% at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMic EIN (20–20 kHz, 150 Ω source): below -127.5 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBus noise (no inputs routed): below -93 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBus noise (36 inputs routed): below -78 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMic CMRR: 70 dB (min gain) \/ 75 dB (max gain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCrosstalk \/ mute attenuation (short fader, long fader, mix assign, bus assign): above 90 dB at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum input, mic: above +21 dBu (min gain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum input, line: above +30 dBu (min gain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum output into 2 kΩ (mix, bus, aux): above +26 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWidth: 331.0 cm (130.5 in) — 7-bay configuration (72 channels, no DLC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDepth \/ height: 106.5 x 99.9 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWeight: 234 kg (515 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower: 2x ASP8120 Ultra (included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AUDIENT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53985705558353,"sku":"27749","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/AudientASP8024HeritageEdition72ChInlineConsole.jpg?v=1781027978","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de-fr\/products\/audient-asp8024-heritage-edition-72-ch-inline-console","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
