Sitting in the Red Suite at Tileyard X (TYX), the new Audient ASP4816-HE small-format analogue recording console is the first to be installed anywhere in the world. The console was chosen to suit the size of the room, and the flow of passing artists, producers and engineers that visit Tileyard London daily.

The Heritage Edition is an in-line, fully analogue recording and mixing console, providing everything expected from a large-format recording console but in a space-friendly footprint. The console has been designed from the ground up by David Dearden, and featurs his renowned analogue circuit topologies.

‘We know TYX members want great results at speed and that means we need an easy-to-use desk that delivers great sound,’ says, TYX Managing Director, Jack Freegard.

‘Some of our members are migrating from a bedroom set-up and this desk isn’t daunting to first-time studio users, yet delivers the full fat experience of a larger desk.

‘We love the fact that members will come back for more of what this desk provides. Our rooms are run on a membership basis and we needed a tracking and playback experience that added the least amount of overhead on our assistant’s workload,’

‘TYX is a great hub for established producers, new artists and so many people involved with creating chart topping sounds, so it’s great to see Audient at the heart of this set-up,’ says Audient’s Andy Allen. ‘The fact that the ASP4816-HE is feature packed but intuitive makes it a good choice for the room, but the efficiency means you can just plug into a normal power socket so installing in any studio or home is easy too.’
