API AUDIO

Based on the vintage APSI 562 EQ and reengineered for the modern engineer, the API Audio SV14 is a 4-band EQ module designed for 500-series racks. Each of the four bands offers continuously variable parametric frequency and gain control via two concentric control knobs per band, delivering 12 dB of boost or cut per band.Each band sports a parametric peak/dipping configuration. The SV14 offers up to 24 dB of headroom before clipping, letting you handle a wide range of signals. The module provides an illuminated EQ In switch for bypassing the EQ. The SV14 features transformer-balanced output for 500-series enclosures.Based on a Vintage APSI Design The design of the SV14 circuitry is not entirely new. For a brief period in the late '70s and early '80s, an audio company called APSI manufactured consoles and equalizers. The APSI 562 was a 4-band parametric equalizer, which was made by APSI but sold through API.The 562 has remained on the favorites list of a number of studio engineers over the years. Faithfully updated and reengineered, the API Audio 562 delivers a nearly impossible-to-find EQ circuit at an attractive price point.EQ Controls Each band offers 12 dB of boost or cut with dedicated dual-concentric frequency and level controls per band:Low band with 20 to 200 Hz adjustment100 Hz to 1 kHz control for mid-low frequency band500 Hz to 5 kHz adjustment range for mid-high bandHigh-frequency band with a 2 to 20 kHz frequency range
