Résumé

The API A2D gives you the sound of the classic API console preamp with impeccable digital capture. The same preamp/DI circuit of the 312 and 3124+ preamps give you a fast, electric sound with all of the punchy tone that makes engineers and producers reach for API gear on every session. The signal from the pres is then automatically routed to the digital outputs, with an insert point to connect your favorite outboard gear in between and an attenuator at the A/D, allowing you to run the pres a little hotter and them dial back the output and not clip the converter. AES/EBU and S/PDIF outputs connect to the digital inputs on your interface or mixer, and several A2Ds can be linked together with a 9-pin DSUB connector.

This circuit allows for a wide range of gain staging, from wide open, to padded down a bit, to pad + 2:1 switch, this preamp really fits many source's needs. Initially, I used it on the kick and…

    I was looking for a good clean front end for my daw when recording very detailed sources. Having worked with API consoles, I knew the quality would be there, and I knew what kind of sound I should expect. What I didn't know, but was pleasantly surprised by was the openness, detail, and pure clean qu…
