API SR22 Dual Channel Compressor

API consoles are the gold standard around the world. And now you can bring some of that mojo to your productions with the SR22 two-channel rack compressor. Housing two channels of API's renowned compressor circuitry in a sleek rackmount design, this compressor boasts API's patented THRUST® circuit on each channel, preserving delicate high-frequency content even during intense compression. Originally featured in the iconic ATI Paragon analog live mixing console, the SR22 offers intuitive control and classic analog VU meters for easy monitoring of output and gain reduction. Channels can be linked for stereo compression with true RMS power summing of left and right signals. Featuring variable Threshold, Ratio, and Makeup gain controls, along with switchable metering for output level and gain reduction, the SR22 gives you the control you demand. Additional highlights include Peak threshold LED indicators, switchable Hard or Soft Knee compression, and fully balanced XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs for seamless integration into any setup. Add some API magic to your live rig or studio rack collection.
