The TranZformer LX is housed in a robust, road-worthy casing fitted with balanced and unbalanced outputs.

In 1968, Automated Processes, Inc. began building quality consoles for broadcast applications. Soon, the company's products found favor with recording studios, and a string of industry-leading advancements (including computerized console automation, the first VCA, and more) followed. API produced the 2520 amplifier, one of the most famous op amps in the recording industry, and their consoles and products found homes in such iconic studio facilities as Ocean Way, Record Plant, The Hit Factory, and Sunset Sound, among others. In fact, there are over 700 classic API consoles around the globe - many of which are still in use. And the company certainly isn't resting on its laurels; today's API products give you the same unbeatable combination of utility, innovation, and great sound.
