5.0/5 rating (1 votes)

Expanding on the sonic clarity and full-featured control of the ASP8024 console, the ACS version brings integrated workstation control right where you want it: between the speakers.

The ACS bay can receive a Digidesign Command|8 or Mackie Control Universal control surface into any of the console bays, allowing instant ergonomic control of transport functions, software mixing and plug-ins.

A 15' or 17' TFT monitor mounted on the meter bridge and space for your keyboard and mouse mean that you no longer need to leave the sweet spot to tweak your plug-ins.

In addition, the ACS model also includes a new level of finish:

  • American Walnut top trim, side cheeks and armrest.
  • Classic American style knobs.
  • Optional blue CUT lights.
