API Audio's 8200A summing mixer, which integrates the
company's 8200 eight-channel line mixer with the functionality of the API
7800 master module into a stand-alone unit, is now shipping. The new
one-rack space 8200A is a flexible, self-contained summing mixer that is
designed to introduce the warm sound of API's discrete analog
modules to current digital audio workstations.
The rack-mount API 8200A offers direct control over level, panning, a
balanced insert, and two auxiliary sends on each of the eight balanced line
input channels, while also providing solo and mute functions. This new 8200A
model additionally includes the necessary summing amps for the aux sends,
busses and stereo mix bus.
The 8200A is configured with industry-standard DB-25 multi-pin connectors
for easy integration into existing audio systems. All external audio
connections are balanced +4dBu.
In addition to allowing DAW users to bypass their digital audio bus and take
advantage of API's analog audio circuitry, the 8200A
can also be used in a variety of mix and submix applications. Those include
studio recording and mixing, live recording, confidence monitoring, and even
ADR and Foley monitor playback. Multiple 8200A modules may be linked to
satisfy multi-channel applications.
