The API 5500 discrete equalizer brings two channels of legendary console EQ to a convenient 1U rackmount box. Carve and sculpt your tracks on the way in with the classic proportional-Q curves of the 4-band 550B, long heralded as a killer EQ for guitars, drums, and vocals where mid-range control is crucial. When it comes time to print your mix, strap the 5500 over the stereo buss and make use of the "RANGE" switch to keep the tight bandwidth of huge boosts and cuts without having to do 8-12dB moves.
