The API 7600 Input Module 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,
professional studios who may want to add more channels to
their existing desk through the addition of a “SIDE CAR”, or
custom Broadcasters who need a high quality 3 or 4 chan­nel top of the line full-featured console, 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 a genuine API
mic pre, a compressor and a real 550A EQ right out of the glory days of
rock n roll. The 7600 mic pre is the same mic pre currently available in the
200 Series Legacy Console modules, the 212L. The EQ is AN EXACT
reissue of the famed 550A, offering 3 bands of API EQ but with 7 fre­quency choices PER BAND. The compressor is the 225L, the same
compressor found in the popular, all discrete Legacy console still in
production.

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.
