API Collection
The Musical Sound of API Dynamics and EQ
Fifty years ago, API revolutionized audio processing with EQs like the musical and transparent API 550A and 550B, and the groundbreaking API 560 graphic EQ, setting new standards in tone shaping.
However, API's innovations extended beyond EQs; their API 2500 Compressor continues to be prized for its versatile tone and punch. Ahead of its time then, the API Collection now stands ready for a new generation of producers, preserving API's legacy of pure, sweet sound and innovative design.

- API 2500
API 550 A
