Automated Processes Inc., better known to the masses as API, have announced a brand new analogue console that's specifically designed for audio professionals with project or home studios who require a smaller format console. The Box features the same circuitry as the 1608 mixer, so it should have comparable performance and the same API sound as the company’s highly successful Vision and Legacy Plus consoles. The new console debuted yesterday at the AES show in New York, and is now shipping from the company’s factory in Jessup, Maryland.
“The Box offers an easy, turnkey solution for recording and mixing,” said API President Larry Droppa. “It’s a great option for people who record a few channels at a time, but demand the warmth and punch that a large API console delivers. In addition to four inputs, full center section control, and 16 channels of API’s famous summing, the icing on the cake is a classic API stereo compressor on the program bus. Now you can truly record and mix – in The Box.”
