FILTER WITH IMMACULATE PRECISION

When breaking down classic recordings, it’s apparent how important an EQ filter can be. More often than not, cutting into a specific frequency is often more effective than boosting in other parts of the spectrum. In the ‘70s, a popular kick drum trick was a 12dB cut at 400Hz on an API 550 EQ. 

Now API Audio gives you a tool designed for filtration with surgical precision and it’s got the classic API analog mojo. With the highpass, lowpass, and a variable notch filter with an adjustable Q that is also fully sweepable between 20Hz and 20kHz, the API 565 Discrete Filter Set is your new secret weapon. Feel free to put one or more in any current 500 Series rack.
