Meet the API ASM164: Analog Summing with Legendary Tone in a Compact Package
When it comes to summing mixers, API is a name that resonates with excellence, warmth, and unparalleled analog sound. The API ASM164 Rackmount Summing Mixer continues this legacy by bringing their renowned summing performance to studios and production facilities of all sizes. Designed to fit into a standard 19-inch rack format, the ASM164 offers 16 summing channels that deliver the rich, detailed tone that API is celebrated for.
Built for professional and project studios alike, the ASM164 is inspired by the summing section of THE BOX® Console, a testament to API’s commitment to high-quality engineering. Key features such as dual stereo program buses (Mix-A and Mix-B), channel inserts, and 0dB bypass make it an excellent addition to any workflow. Whether you’re mixing a full session or simply adding API warmth to your tracks, this summing mixer provides incredible flexibility and sonic precision.
At its core, the ASM164 is powered by API’s proprietary 2510 and 2520 OpAmps and signature output transformers, ensuring the rich analog character you’ve come to expect. With convenient controls, such as detented level knobs, panning with center detents, and 4-segment LED meters, you’ll have complete command of your mixes. Additionally, the external power supply and balanced I/O connections provide the reliability and noise-free performance necessary for professional results.
The API ASM164 isn’t just a piece of gear – it’s a creative tool designed to enhance your mixes with warmth, clarity, and the unmistakable API tone. Ready to bring legendary analog sound to your workflow? The ASM164 is your answer.
