The 40-channel in-line topology tackles this by providing two discrete audio paths (Main and Small fader) per channel strip, delivering up to 80 simultaneous inputs during mixdown. This design drastically reduces patchbay downtime between tracking and mixing stages. At its core, the console utilizes fully discrete API 2520 operational amplifiers and custom transformers to deliver an immense +28 dBu of headroom. This allows engineers to push heavy transient material hard without digital clipping, imparting the dense, punchy harmonic saturation that has defined countless classic records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSeamless Recall with Motorized Automation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn high-end commercial facilities, the tedious process of manual analog recall translates directly to lost revenue. The integrated Final Touch Automation system solves this critical bottleneck. Equipped with 100mm motorized faders, the console provides DAW-synchronized, sample-accurate recall of fader rides, mutes, and insert points. This imports the speed of digital mixing directly onto a massive analog frame. Furthermore, the inclusion of dedicated 500 Series slots on every main input channel gives engineers immediate, patch-free access to hardware EQ adjustments directly from the mixing sweet spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\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 multitrack workflows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinal Touch Automation featuring 100mm motorized faders and DAW-synced recall for mix automation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt entirely on API’s legendary discrete analog circuitry utilizing custom 2520 op-amps and transformers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated 500 Series slots on every main input channel for modular, tactile EQ shaping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgraded Center Section built for advanced stem routing and integrated 5.1 surround monitoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\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\u003eAutomation System: Final Touch Automation (fader, mute, and insert control with DAW sync)\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 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":53433016713553,"sku":"59223","price":143499.48,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/APIAudio244840ChannelRecordingConsole_Automated_1_e1a06ac9-fb49-41c1-bddf-5083b4d840b4.jpg?v=1775669429","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr\/products\/api-2448-40-channel-recording-console-automated","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
