The Channel Strip is a complete input module with mic pre, dynamics processing, precision EQ and output level control.

With extensive signal metering, multiple balanced insert points, and an output mute switch, the Channel Strip contains the best features of a large console input channel in a single rack space. It's the perfect choice for anyone looking for that high-performance API console sound.

The result of careful engineering, the Channel Strip includes everything needed to record an audio signal.

It all starts with the famous 512c microphone preamp, which includes the benefit of additional microphone, line, or instrument input switching.

Next up is the 527 Multi-Mode Compressor with fully adjustable Threshold, Attack, Release and Ratio controls on held pots.

The patented THRUST® circuit in the 527 gives your track the in-your-face punch that has made this circuit an award winner.

Also included on the Channel Strip is probably the most recognized and revered API EQ of all time, the 550A Three-Band EQ with its selectable frequencies and 12dB of boost or cut.

The 550A's high and low frequency bands can be switched individually to be shelving EQs, and the “BP Filter” switch inserts a bandpass filter from 50Hz to 15kHz.

At the output of the unit is the 325 Line Driver, taken directly from the API console designs with an output level potentiometer and 10-segment meter.

The meter can also be changed to show the preamp output level.

Each of the Channel Strip's processing pieces can be activated or bypassed individually, while a switch internally rotates the compressor after the EQ if desired.

Additional features include a sidechain input and the famous API 2520/transformer combination.
