API has announced The Box, a new analogue project console designed for project or home studios that ‘require a smaller format console with that big console sound’.
The Box features circuitry and performance derived from the US company’s Vision, Legacy Plus and 1608 consoles.
Key features:
- Two input channels with mic/instrument/line preamp, HP filter & integral 550A EQ
- Two input channels with mic/instrument/line preamp, HP filter & 500 slot
- Two compressors assignable to input channels or program bus with stereo link
- Sixteen summing channels (20 channels during mix)
- Stereo programme bus with master fader, insert, and external input
- One stereo and mono auxiliary sends/buses
- Stereo cue send/bus and headphone system
- PFL, AFL and solo-in-place solo modes with stereo solo bus
- Monitor section that supports two stereo monitor systems
- Talkback system
- Comprehensive rear panel connections with balanced inputs and outputs
- Integrated power supply
‘The Box offers an easy, turnkey solution for recording and mixing,’ says API President, Larry Droppa. ‘It’s a great option for people who record a few channels at a time, but demand the warmth and punch that a large API console delivers. In addition to four inputs, full centre section control and 16 channels of API’s famous summing, the icing on the cake is a classic API stereo compressor on the programme bus. Now you can truly record and mix in The Box.”
The Box is available now.
