The API 512c is a mic / line / instrument preamp, world famous for its ability to provide
a low noise (-129 EIN) and unusually good sounding front end for all types of audio
applications. Sonically, it delivers the distinct API sound at an affordable price, and in
the scalable API 500 Series format. Offering an impressive 65 dB of gain, the 512c
includes phantom power, switchable polarity, -20 dB pad and Mic or Instrument/Line
selector. Front panel XLR and 1/4 inch connectors combined with rear panel mic access
allows for additional flexibility when installed into an API lunchbox®,
API's 10 position 500V vertical rack, or an API console.
The API 512c remains faithful to the circuit designs of API's founder Saul
Walker. Artfully combining those circuits with API’s proprietary
transformers and the incomparable 2520 op-amp, the 512c is a highly
musical and rich-sounding analog mic pre, equally at home in
commercial recording spaces as it is in smaller home studios. Fully
featured and still hand assembled, the 512c exhibits the reliability, long
life, and uniformity which are characteristic of all API products.
