The 48-channel in-line topology solves routing bottlenecks by providing two separate audio paths per channel (Main and Small faders). This enables engineers to record and monitor concurrently without extensive patchbay rerouting. Driven by the proprietary, fully discrete API 2520 op-amps and custom transformers, the console delivers immense analog headroom. With a clipping point of +28 dBu, it effortlessly handles heavy transient peaks from drum kits or brass sections, imbuing the mix with dense, punchy harmonic saturation that digital summing simply cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSeamless Workflow with Motorized Automation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fast-paced commercial studios, the time spent manually recalling stems and balances translates to lost revenue and disrupted creative flow. The integrated Final Touch Automation system solves this by outfitting the console with 100mm motorized faders and DAW-synced recall for mutes and inserts. This imports the speed and exact repeatability of an ITB (in-the-box) workflow directly onto a pure analog mixing desk. Paired with per-channel 500 Series slots for modular EQ processing, tracking and mixing engineers get tactile, immediate control over complex multichannel balances while maintaining absolute consistency across different client sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48 in-line channels providing dual signal paths (Main and Small Fader) for simultaneous tracking and mixing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinal Touch Automation featuring 100mm motorized faders for precise, DAW-integrated mix recall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt entirely on API’s legendary discrete analog circuitry utilizing custom 2520 operational amplifiers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated 500 Series slots on every input channel allowing custom, patch-free EQ configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComprehensive, upgraded Center Section designed for advanced stem management and native 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: 48 (In-line architecture, yielding 96 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\u003eMax Output Level: +28 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500 Series Integration: Supported (1 slot per main input channel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonitoring Support: 5.1 Surround, Stereo, and Mono playback capabilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"API Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53433020219729,"sku":"59225","price":167993.17,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/APIAudio244840ChannelRecordingConsole_Automated_1_41489d58-89e7-4d6c-97c0-d65b6f44ec0a.jpg?v=1775669445","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr\/products\/api-2448-48-channel-recording-console-automated","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
