*Check out our current 500-series special- Save $50 on modules when you buy a new frame!* My love affair with 500 mic amps and equalizers began in 1986, when I started working out of a million-dollar studio which had, among many racks of great gear, an API 500 series ten space rack housing a pair of 512B mic-pres and a few 550B 4-band discrete EQ modules. The studio also had Hardy and Demeter outboard pres, but the APIs became my go-to guys for just about everything. The 512 has roundness, forwardness and dimensionality. Along with the supple midrange, the 512 imparts a high-end character which I'd describe as glassy, even subtly airy, but never harsh. And the punch! Being a faster pre than most, I discovered that tracking drums was a real forte of API. To this day I still lean on the 312 or 512 pre for kick, snare, and overheads. *also check out our page featuring all the 500-series modules & frames that we carry!*
