Installation Ventilation Care should be taken not to obstruct the series of ventilation holes in the metalwork of the console. The desk is designed to release heat and take adequate air flow via these holes to ensure longevity of performance. These can be found along the left hand bottom edge on the side panel (below the cheek), the rear top wrap-around ventilation panel and below the faders at the foot of the console.

DAW Ethernet Connection (Mac) You can use standard Cat-5e Ethernet cable to connect ASP2802 to your studio DAW computer. The interface in ASP2802 is compatible whether you use a straight through or cross-over cable. Please ensure that you have downloaded and installed the latest version of our AuNet.dmg application from www.audient.com. On Apple computers please ensure that AuNet is added to your applications folder via drag and drop.
Networking (Mac) Once you have connected ASP2802 to your studio computer via either a direct Ethernet link or through a router and installed AuNet you are ready to set up the networking side of the console. IP Address Setup for Direct Connection Unless you have a router in your studio, it is most likely that you will directly connect ASP2802 to your DAW via a direct Ethernet link.
Networking (Mac) Moving across to ASP2802, power up the console and once booted, press the SETUP button. The OLED displays will show the first page of console setup. First set the application you are using with ASP2802. The options at the time of release include: • Apple Logic 9 • Avid Pro Tools 8 • Steinberg Cubase 5 (Nuendo) Use the first rotary encoder to select the required DAW application. Note that once a change has been made, the setup switch LED will flash to indicate that a setting has changed.
Networking (Mac) Subnet Mask set to 255.255.255.0: Port set to 1212: Press the setup key to exit setup and your setting will be saved. Now power down the console and restart your Apple computer. Once booted, ensure that the AuNet application is running and open on your DAW machine. Finally power up the console. After the console boots, it should be picked up by AuNet (you may have to repeat the power down / restart process if you are experiencing difficulties).
Networking (Mac) Your console should now be connected to your studio DAW computer and ready for configuration as a HUITM control surface and analogue automation platform. Setting up the console with DHCP (for use with routers) If you have more than one device connected to your DAW computer, you will most likely be using a network router to talk to all of these devices.
DAW Ethernet Connection (PC) You can use standard Cat-5e Ethernet cable to connect ASP2802 to your studio DAW computer. The interface in ASP2802 is compatible whether you use a straight through or cross-over cable. Please ensure that you have downloaded and installed the latest version of our AuNet.msi application from www.audient.com. On PC computers please ensure that AuNet is installed using the provided .msi package.
Networking (PC) Once you have connected ASP2802 to your studio computer via either a direct Ethernet link or through a router and installed AuNet you are ready to set up the networking side of the console. Until your console is connected (or any other LAN device to your PC), the LAN status indicated in Control Panel > Network Connections will be unplugged. Right click on the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties.
Networking (PC) In the Local Area Connections properties dialogue window scroll down and select Internet Protocol TCP/IP and then open the properties dialogue box with the button to the right. Here select the ‘use the following IP address’ radio button. Set the IP address of your PC to 192.168.0.1 Set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 Leave the default gateway blank and click OK.
Networking (PC) Moving across to ASP2802, press the SETUP button. The OLED displays will show the first page of console setup. First set the application you are using with ASP2802. The options for PC at the time of release include: • Avid Pro Tools 8 • Steinberg Cubase 5 (Nuendo) Use the first rotary encoder to select the required DAW application. Note that once a change has been made, the setup switch LED will flash to indicate that a setting has changed.
Networking (PC) Subnet Mask set to 255.255.255.0: Port set to 1212: Press the setup key to exit setup and your setting will be saved. Now power down the console and restart your PC. Once booted, ensure that the AuNet application is running and open on your DAW machine. Finally power up the console. After the console boots, it should be picked up by AuNet (you may have to restart your computer if experiencing difficulties and repeat).
Networking (PC) Your console should now be connected to your studio DAW computer and ready for configuration as a HUITM control surface and analogue automation platform. If you need to exit the AuNet program it will still run in the systray until you manually quit by right clicking on the icon in the system tray and select quit.
Networking (PC) You will most likely be running DHCP with automatic IP hand out. Ensure that the console is set to use DHCP on the second page of the setup menu, once set reboot the console and follow the same AuNet connection procedure as outlined previously once the console is detected. Firmware Updates When updates are released for your console to improve control surface workflow, bug fixes and add new features, you will need to update the console firmware. To do this please visit www.audient.
Example Systems Example System 1 - 8 Channel DAW Platform The first example system shown on the next page illustrates a basic system with a typical 8-in and 8-out soundcard / interface as commonly available. In this example there are 8 microphone channels, some basic outboard processing, one set of monitors and a single reverb unit hooked up to the aux sends.
Example Systems Example System 3 cont. If you wish to work it another way, an all analogue, zero-latency monitor mix could be formed by feeding the analogue output of ASP008 (or whatever standalone preamplifiers you are using) into the DB25 DAW Input connection. Using the alternative cue input, you could balance these extra 8 inputs using the cue pan and level controls accessing both the cue output section and main mix bus for headphone and control room monitoring.
