Mercenary Audio - API 8200A Line Mixer

The 8200A is the same 8-channel input module as the 8200, but unlike the 8200, which must be used in conjunction with the 7800 master module, the "A" version has the summing amps built in! It's fully stand-alone. This makes the 8200A the easiest way to get started with an 8 X 2 API mini-mixer.

The API 8200A is meant to be used as a "stand alone" unit, the 8200 is for use with the the 7800 master section only. You can indeed use the 7600's as "stand alone" units, but you can reap all of the benefits afforded you by the unit if you add them to a system with the 7800 master section. You'll be able to use the major parts of the 7600 without the 7800 like the mic pre, EQ, and compressor... but things like the aux bussing won't really be available without the 7800.

The 8200A is similar to the 8200, Except that it has built in summing amps for the stereo, solo and send outputs. Several 8200s and 7600s may be linked to the 8200A, and it them becomes the master, using the unit's internal summing amplifers (there are, by design, no master controls as the user must connect this unit to an external control section). These summing amps feature stereo API 2520 outputs with transformers for the stereo bus, nominal +4dBu, summing outputs for the sends and solo at -2dBu nominal level. This option is perfect when a rack of 8200s are used as additional inputs to a console and end up patched into a couple of faders or into the mix bus. The 8200A is not meant to be used with the 7800, unless the summing option is disabled.
