API 3124MV 4-channel Microphone Preamp Reviews
The API 3124MV adds transformer tap selection to the company's popular 3124MB+ 4-channel mic/instrument preamp. The 3124MV packs legendary API console sonics and performance into an easy-to-use, premium-quality rackmount unit — complete with a built-in stereo mixer. Whether you're capturing vocals or plugging in an instrument, you'll definitely appreciate the 3124MV. It uses the same preamp circuit found in API consoles, plus the same input and output transformers you'll find throughout the API range — a recipe for classic API sound. Want instant vintage character? A 3:1 output transformer tap selection lets you switch in additional harmonic saturation. This preamp provides a robust gain range, making it useful for a variety of input sources. Equally at home onstage, in the broadcast rig, and in the recording studio, the API 3124MV will serve you well.
Great preamps, with a built-in mixer
When recording, I have four great preamps that I can easily route to different hardware, or not. This unit shines as a small live event mixer. I just mixed a live event with two microphones, guitar, and bass, and the only rack mount hardware I needed was this and a power supply. I used the aux send to add a touch of reverb to the vocals with a Strymon Blue Sky, and that was that. I'm very impressed, and the pres have amazing headroom, so are super difficult to overload unintentionally, which is nice.
Drums
Great for drums. So good, I'm getting another as I've upgraded to a 8mic setup thanks for my new patchbay.
