API Audio The Channel Strip

The API channel strip offers a full input channel with excellent features on 1U. It starts with the 512c microphone preamp, with phantom power, PAD, phase inversion and switchable DI/line input. The 527 is available as a compressor with adjustable attack, release, threshold and ratio. In addition, the multi-mode compressor features the proven and award-winning THRUST circuitry, which is responsible for the popular API 'In your Face' sound. The legendary 550A with 3 parametric bands was chosen for the EQ. The 325 Line Driver is 'The Channel Strip' output stage and features a 10-stage switchable LED meter.

A number of smart additions have also been considered: The compressor and EQ order can be changed using the Post-EQ button, each module is available separately, and the 527 compressor has a side-chain input.
