📝 Description

Selling my API 3124V 4-Channel Mic Preamp, one of the most respected 4-channel mic preamps in professional recording.

This unit delivers the unmistakable API punch, clarity, and forward midrange, making it a go-to choice for drums, guitars, vocals, and full-band tracking. Built around the legendary API 2520 op-amps and transformer-based design, it provides that classic “record-ready” sound straight out of the box.

The 3124V is an evolution of the iconic 3124+, adding variable output control and transformer selection, giving you far more flexibility when driving the input for tone while controlling levels to your converters.
