The APM-215 monitor’s high-quality audio and low distortion are attained using a two-way speaker sys­tem with a wide volume control range with balance adjustment. Front-panel, direct-input mode switching
allows the selection of stereo monitoring for up to 10 different channels. Two 10-segment, color LED
bargraph meters are provided, as well as a phase indication LED. A front-panel headphone jack mutes
the speaker output for isolated listening requirements.

Shielding permits use adjacent to waveform or picture monitors without magnetic interference, making
the APM-215 ideally suited for use in remote vans, editing suites, VTR monitor bridges or any system
that requires high-quality, professional aural monitoring of stereo audio signals.
