From the seller
Four channels of the unmistakable API sound in a single rack space. The API 3124+ combines classic API 2520 op-amp circuitry with transformer-coupled microphone preamplification for the punch, presence, fast transient response, and musical harmonic character that have made API preamps studio staples for decades.
This is the kind of preamp that makes drums jump out of the speakers, adds authority to electric guitars, and gives vocals and acoustic instruments an exciting, focused character without sacrificing detail. Four independent channels make it ideal for stereo pairs, drum setups, and sessions where you want a consistent API front end across multiple microphones. Its compact 1U format also makes it an elegant way to bring the sound of a classic API console into a modern recording rack.
Each channel provides dedicated gain control and front-panel controls, with direct instrument input capability for recording guitars and bass. Built in the USA, the 3124+ is a serious recording tool for engineers who prefer committing to a great sound on the way in.
This preamp has been carefully used in my smoke-free recording studio and is in excellent condition. I'm selling it as part of the sale of my studio equipment.
It will be carefully double-boxed for shipment. This listing is for the API 3124+ unit; no other equipment or unlisted accessories are included.
