Each Class A preamp circuit employs legendary API 2520 op-amps for transparent gain with minimal noise. Plus, each channel also features illuminated front-panel switches for engaging the 20 dB pad, toggling 48 V phantom power, reversing polarity, and switching input impedance for hi-Z inputs. The mic preamp outputs provide ideal output impedance for interfacing with modern studio gear. Finally, seven-segment LED meters and classic API Gain and Level knobs complete the look and make the API 3124V 4-channel mic preamp just as straightforward to use as any classic API console.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003e3:1 OUTPUT TRANSFORMER TAP SELECTION\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe proprietary output transformers on the API 3124V feature dedicated transformer tap switches, giving you the option to choose between the standard output and a 3:1 mode with extra windings for additional harmonic saturation. Take advantage of this feature to thicken vocals with vintage-style warmth, fatten up drums, and give an edge to any instrument track. Front-panel switches make it easy to audition the 3:1 transformer tap on the fly, and the variable output level controls allow you to dial in the ideal output level.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eBUILT USING PREMIUM API COMPONENTS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt with the same premium components used in API’s large-format consoles, the 3124V preamp delivers superb, detailed sound with high headroom. Custom mic input transformers and classic 2520 op-amps provide clean gain with very low actual measured noise specs. As for power, the 3124V's ultra-stable phantom power circuitry and low AC power consumption ensure dependable operation in both studio and live applications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"API Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450075377767,"sku":"75584","price":3295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/api-3124v_75584_1_feb0c19c-9338-4e23-b6d8-1cf79da4bcec.jpg?v=1787091591","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/api-3124v","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
