The API sound that created countless hit albums
With the API 1608 Recording Console, you've got the same sonic foundation that countless iconic albums have been recorded on. You've got 16 x 548B input modules, 12 x 550A parametric EQs, and 4 x 560 graphic EQs ready to give you platinum sound right from the start. The preamps are based on API's signature 2520 op amp, the same ones used in API's legendary vintage consoles. And while the 1608 Recording Console gives you the sonic benefit of an older console, it's been designed from the ground up for modern studio workflows.
Everything you love about analog mixing, but with your DAW
Even if you're working on 5.1 surround sound projects, the API 1608 Recording Console is easy to integrate into your DAW setup. Generous I/O, mainly on XLR and 1/4" TRS connections, makes it easy to connect to your AD/DA converters in a way that best suits your workflow. But every studio and workflow is different, so give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call for help finding the best way to integrate the API 1608 Recording Console into your existing setup.
Customize your console with 500 Series modules

The API 1608 Recording Console sports eight empty 500 Series slots, ready for you to add your favorite processors. And even though the included 550 and 560 equalizers sound amazing, you can easily swap these out for other 500 Series modules to completely customize the 1608 Recording Console.
