The A2D integrates two 312 discrete mic preamps with API's new proprietary analogue to digital converters into a 1U rack space unit. It represents the first digital offering in APIĀ¹s successful line of microphone amplifiers and signal processing modules.
"When we began design of the A2D, we wanted to do it right. We knew the analogue to digital converters had to be the best possible to fully complement two of our 312 discrete mic amps, one of our most popular mic amp designs for over 25 years," says Larry Droppa, president of API. "And at the same time, we felt it was important to avoid the typical delays of announcing a new product and then shipping it much later. We're pleased to be able to announce the product today and ship the first units tomorrow!"
The A2D converter will be shown at AES Paris at Stand No. 1030. Units are available for review. Please contact Dan Zimbelman at API.
