1.0 Overview
Building on API's rich heritage of extremely high-quality recording consoles, we introduce
“The BOX,” a small-format recording/mixing console designed for professional project
studios, home studios, and production facilities of all kinds. Optimized for the digital era, “The
BOX” handles all the functions needed for production not provided by most DAWs, including a
preamp, input signal processing, high-quality mix bus, cue sends with talkback, monitor
control, and more, without the redundant capacities of larger consoles. Most importantly,
“The BOX” provides the legendary “all discrete” API sound in an efficient, cost-effective
package.
