API 2500 - STEREO COMPRESSOR

(This text is machine translated) The API 2500 is an extremely versatile stereo compressor that allows you to intervene in an effective and musical way on the punch and sound of a stereo mix. In a compact 1U rack unit it features ATI's patented "THRUST" circuitry for grittier sound and fuller low frequencies. With its two-channel design the API 2500 is ideal for compressing stereo signals, but is capable of being used as two separate units with the same setting.
