The API 7600/7800 offer studios of all sizes a whole new range of options without sacrificing quality. Perfect for project studios who want high performance console sound, but have limited channel needs and/or budget availability, or professional studios who may want to add more channels to their existing desk, the API 7600 strip forms the basis of a build-as-you-need-it, high quality recording console.

The new API 7600 fits into one rack space unit. It includes genuine API mic pre, a compressor and an EQ right out of the glory days of rock 'n roll. The 7600 mic pre and compressor are the same units currently available in the 200 Series Legacy Console modules - the 212L and the 225L. The EQ is AN EXACT reissue of the famed 550A, offering 3 bands of API EQ but with 7 frequency choices PER BAND.

Complete with internal power supply, the 7600 strip is the basis for building a 4 channel, 8 channel or even 16 channel professional sounding API console. All the user needs is a rack and interconnect cables.

The 7600 is available either in a HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL panel configuration, the only difference being the legends on the panel. Complete with internal power supply, the 7600 strip is the basis for building a 4 channel, 8 channel or even 16 channel professional sounding API console. All the user needs is a rack.

This allows a studio to design a custom “side car” console that can be used as extra inputs or as a portable “floating” console that can be moved from one control room to another, when needed. It can also be the basis for an extremely high quality 4-8+ custom console for remote recording applications, such as classical recordings or broadcast live remotes that require only a few channels.

To complete the signal path, we are introducing the API 7800 Master Module containing Bus masters, Solo logic and control, TalkBack and Master VU metering, as well as a full featured Master Control Room section for speakers and tape playback.

THIS ALLOWS A STUDIO TO DESIGN A CUSTOM "SIDE CAR" CONSOLE THAT CAN BE USED AS EXTRA INPUTS OR AS A PORTABLE "FLOATING" CONSOLE THAT CAN BE MOVED FROM CONTROL ROOM TO CONTROL ROOM. IT CAN ALSO BE THE BASIS FOR AN EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY 4 OR 8+ CHANNEL CONSOLE FOR REMOTE RECORDING APPLICATIONS, SUCH AS CLASSICAL RECORDINGS OR BROADCAST LIVE REMOTES.
