API 3124V 4-Channel Microphone/Line Preamp #0839-20 (Used)

Since the 1960s, API has provided high quality, discrete, studio grade pre-amps. Their punchy sound is highly preferred by audio professionals on drums, rock guitars, bass, vocals, or anything that needs a little attitude. There are over 700 API consoles in leading recording studios and broadcast facilities around the world, now with the API 3124V you can get that same pro sound, without buying the entire console.

The 3124V has four discrete microphone pre-amps, the same preamplifier found in all API consoles. The microphone preamp can give you up to 65 dB of gain, where the Hi-Z input patches directly to the Op-Amp, allowing line level signals such as an electric guitar, bass, or keyboards to be plugged directly in without the use of a direct box.

On the front panel, each channel is equipped with a VU meter, gain control, phase polarity button, 48 V Phantom Power button, 20 dB pad that works on the mic and line inputs, mic/line selector, and the Hi-Z 1/4" input. The rear panel has XLR inputs and outputs for each channel. The 3124V also features Variable Output Control and switchable 3:1 output transformer selection.
