It delivers 48 inputs to the stereo bus at mixdown (two paths per channel plus eight aux return inputs), 16 record buses, 8 subgroups, and the same discrete hybrid Class A preamp circuit that Audient uses across their entire product range, from iD interfaces to the ASP8024 console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDearden EQ with Air and Splittable Topology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe four-band EQ on each of the 16 channels consists of two fully parametric mid bands spanning 40 Hz to 20 kHz with ±15 dB of boost or cut and fully adjustable Q, flanked by low and high shelving bands. The Air button applies a broad, high-frequency shelf lift — useful for opening up transients and vocal presence without introducing harshness. The EQ is splittable across both fader paths: it can be independently assigned to the long fader path (mic\/line) or the short fader path (DAW return), allowing simultaneous EQ on both signal paths without switching. Both long and short faders have independent pan pots and independent routing to record buses and subgroups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eVCA Bus Compressor and Monitor Section\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe VCA stereo bus compressor operates pre-insert, post-fader, with adjustable threshold and ratio, auto-release mode, and a gain reduction meter — a functional mastering-style glue tool built into the console without requiring an external hardware slot. The monitor section provides four pairs of monitor outputs (Main plus three Alt) with independent level controls, six mono aux sends plus two cue sends covering both studio headphone monitoring and outboard effects simultaneously. Talkback is handled by a built-in microphone with footswitch control support — a facility rarely found in a console of this size and price class. Over 40 insert points across all input channels mean that with a suitable patchbay, the ASP4816-SE can support extensive outboard signal chain configurations without the phase or latency complications of digital routing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e16-channel in-line (2 paths per channel), 48 inputs to stereo bus at mixdown\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e16 discrete hybrid Class A mic preamps, up to 60 dB gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e4-band splittable EQ: 2 fully parametric bands (40 Hz–20 kHz, ±15 dB, variable Q) + 2 shelving + Air\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e40 faders (long + short per channel + subgroups + master)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e16 record buses + 8 subgroups\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e6 mono aux sends + 2 cue sends\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e4 stereo monitor output pairs (Main + 3 Alt)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eVCA stereo bus compressor — adjustable threshold, ratio, auto-release, GR meter\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOver 40 insert points (pre-fader on both mic\/line and DAW return paths)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e42 line inputs in mix configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTalkback with internal mic and footswitch input\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSolo In Front (SIF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eChannels: 16, in-line (twin inputs), 40 faders\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRecord buses: 16; subgroups: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMic preamp: discrete hybrid Class A, up to 60 dB gain\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 output into 2 kΩ (mix, bus, aux): above +26 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 109.0 x 99.5 x 33.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWeight: 60 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AUDIENT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53985705591121,"sku":"50529","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/AUDIENTASP4816SE.jpg?v=1781027967","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/en-fr\/products\/audient-asp4816-se","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
