API 560

Punch. Clarity. Transparency. Shape Tone Fast with an EQ Classic.

API 560’s proportional-Q filter topology is known for its smooth, forgiving sound. For mic overheads, pianos, guitars, and other complex sound sources that need clear, transparent, well-defined tone-shaping, the 560 makes EQing fast and easy.

Created in association with API, this high-end equalizer is all about using a traditional graphic interface to make broad equalization changes—all while sounding natural and musical.

  • Designed in close collaboration with, and verified by, API

  • Output section with phase switch and ±18 dB level control
