- Pristine Converter Technology - ASP880 provides you with the highest grade converters from Burr Brown, the leaders in converter technology. The integral ADC guarantees you will have the best conversion possible. This isn't just the best converter in a mic pre either, it stands up against dedicated converters too. You can focus on the music and let ASP880 take care of the rest.

- -Ever wanted to add compression or EQ to your signal before going to the computer? Well with ASP880 you can. Simply insert any analogue processor before the converters - it's as easy as that!
- -The A-D button allows ASP880 to function as an 8 channel mic pre while you use the converters separately in stand-alone mode.
- -Say Goodbye to Pesky Low frequencies
- -Lose those unwanted low frequencies with a simple to use variable high-pass filter. The result is a clean, ready to record signal.
- -Wrap it up with a ribbon
- -If you're partial to the character of ribbon mics, then ASP880 is made for you. Variable impedance allows you to match the pre to your favourite ribbon mic. Retain the punch and frequency response the mic was born with. It also works on your other mics, just more subtly.
