Studio workflow flexibility

Aimed at commercial production facilities where space is limited, API has released an update to its console – the Box. The latest version includes more options and flexibility for the modern studio workflow, including eight input channels and eight 500 Series slots, and features LED metering for each of its 24 summing channels.

The new version of the Box provides the same rear-panel connections, full centre section and monitoring as its predecessor, as well as the 0dB bypass switch on each summing channel, and uses the same circuitry and components as other API consoles, including the Vision and Legacy AXS.

According to API, the Box handles all the functions needed for production not provided by most DAWs, including mic preamps, input signal processing, high-quality mix bus, cue sends with talkback and monitor control.
