Time to pick out that iconic API mixing console for your studio? Whether new stock or vintage, we’re proud to have plenty of options when it comes to API. Known for their warm, punchy analog tone, API consoles have become beloved over the decades and have come to define “the American sound.” With large options like the comprehensive Vision console and compact solutions like The Box II, API has mixing desks to fit each need and budget.
Starting as “Automated Processes, Inc.”, API Audio made waves immediately with their punchy, op amp based sound and the convenient 500 Series style of modular construction. Iconic records from Fleetwood Mac, The Cure, and many more went on to boast the open, harmonically rich sound that API consoles brought to the table. Today, API mixers continue to be found in legendary control rooms across the world, whether vintage examples or modern production models like the 2448 and Vision. At Vintage King, we’re proud to carry a vast line of API offerings, and have been well known for our work restoring and consigning vintage examples – like the custom Sound Factory desk and Q-Tip’s storied 3288.
