Audient Announces Availability of ASP8024 Dual Layer Control Module
Audient has announced that its Dual Layer technology is now available for its flagship ASP8024 console, in the form of a Dual Layer Control (DLC) module. As a result, the ASP8024 can now be the center of a computer session as well as an analogue mixing experience, when fitted with the newly released module.
With the DLC module, the large format console now gives the user control of the computer session plus eight channels of analog moving fader automation. The DLC module connects directly to the computer via an Ethernet connection, supporting control of Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase and Nuendo. A push of the DAW button enables the user to toggle between the control of the computer session and the analogue automation layer.
The new module has eight analogue audio channels enabling the automation of external line input sources or sub group paths. Each channel has a source and destination switch allowing any combination of external I/O and sub group paths to be selected. Below these are the pan controls and mix buttons, allowing users to route the channels directly to the mix and position them in the stereo field. When the eight sources are switched to external input, eight extra channels can be routed directly to the ASP8024 mix bus, and the 24-channel console becomes a 24+8 fader console, giving a total of 64 available analogue inputs.
Full details about the DLC module for ASP8024 can be found on Audient’s recently upgraded website.
