The 40-channel in-line design addresses critical studio bottlenecks by providing two independent audio paths (Main and Small fader) per channel, yielding 80 simultaneous inputs during mixdown without complex patchbay rerouting. Built around API’s proprietary 2520 discrete op-amps and custom transformers, the console delivers an immense analog headroom with a clipping point of +28 dBu. This allows engineers to aggressively drive transient-heavy elements, imparting dense, punchy harmonic saturation that effectively solves the sterility of purely digital workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eImmediate Tactile Workflow and 500 Series Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eBy forgoing motorized faders and automation software, this manual configuration prioritizes raw, immediate physical interaction with your audio. It frees engineers from synchronization setups, allowing for pure, instinct-driven balance adjustments. Furthermore, integrated 500 Series slots on every one of the 40 main input channels provide instant, patch-free access to hardware EQ shaping directly from the mixing sweet spot. Paired with a highly capable 5.1 Center Section, the desk serves as an ultra-low noise hub for organic analog summing and multitrack routing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e40 in-line channels providing dual signal paths (Main and Small Fader) for highly efficient tracking and mixing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eFully manual 100mm faders ensuring pure analog signal integrity and uninterrupted tactile control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eBuilt entirely on API’s renowned discrete analog circuitry utilizing custom 2520 operational amplifiers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eIntegrated 500 Series slots on every main input channel for modular, customizable hardware EQ processing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eAdvanced Center Section designed for comprehensive stem management and integrated 5.1 surround monitoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eChannel Count: 40 (In-line architecture, yielding up to 80 inputs at mixdown)\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eFader System: 100mm manual faders (Non-automated configuration)\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eCircuit Design: Fully discrete analog topology\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eMixing Buses: 8x Multitrack Buses, 8x Aux Sends, 4x Stereo Returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e500 Series Integration: 40 slots (1 slot per main input channel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eMax Output Level: +28 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eConnectivity: Comprehensive rear-panel D-Sub (Tascam standard) and balanced XLR I\/O\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"API Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53433016549713,"sku":"59219","price":127671.22,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/APIAudio244840ChannelRecordingConsole_Automated_1.jpg?v=1775669411","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr-fr\/products\/api-2448-40-channel-recording-console-manual","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
