API / 3122V

This new model combines API's traditional 2-channel microphone preamps and standard feature set with a newly added combo jack input on the front panel.

The new 3122V features two channels of API's signature analog sound and the same legendary circuit design as the 3124V, 3124MV, and 312, 512V, and 512c microphone preamps.

In addition to the punch and large headroom of API microphone preamps, achieved through the combination of 2520 op-amps and proprietary output transformers, the 3122V features easily selectable front and rear panel XLR and 1/4"" inputs via a faceplate, a fixed-frequency HP filter, GAIN/output level control, 48V, POL, and PAD.

The rich feature set is completed with two stunning analog VU meters featuring a 3:1 output transformer tap and independent peak LEDs.
