API / SV12

The API SV12 is a dynamics module that incorporates the dynamics circuitry of the ATI Paragon live analog mixing console into the 500 series while maintaining the original quality.

■ API 500 Module

■ Compressor

With its simple interface and full LED meter displaying output/gain reduction, this module is designed for intuitive and visual ease of use.

The ATI Paragon console's dynamics, which provide reliable reduction without generating unwanted artifacts or distortion, have long been a hidden gem that has garnered many fans. The SV12 faithfully inherits the warm yet clean texture that enhances the tone of your tracks.

Equipped with API's patented THRUST circuit, it suppresses high frequencies and delivers a smooth sound. The two channels can be linked and used as a stereo compressor with RMS power summing.

This module is highly recommended for anyone seeking a high-quality, versatile dynamics processor that offers superior sound quality and reliability.
