Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) in Cleveland, Ohio, has recently commissioned a API 1608-II console as the centerpiece of its Recording Arts & Technology programme.
‘The API 1608-II was selected for our studio classroom for a few reasons,’ explains David Kennedy, Tri-C’s Recording Arts & Technology Program Manager. ‘The first is the quality of mic preamps, since students do a lot of tracking in the room. Next, the 1608-II’s modularity and ability to customise appealed to us, as we have added a few extra processors and have another 500- rack right next to it. Finally, the 1608-II was chosen for the ability to break a mix out of the box. Students use Pro Tools to mix quite often, and this gives them a high quality alternative.’
The console sale was facilitated by official API dealer Vintage King.
