API Native Bundle
Developed in association with Automated Processes Incorporated, the API
Collection features four precision processors based on renowned API modules: the
550A 3-Band Equalizer, the 550B 4-Band Equalizer, the 560 Graphic Equalizer, and
the 2500 Stereo Compressor.
Used by engineers worldwide on countless hit records, these modules deliver a
sound like no other. And with the API Collection, Waves captures every nuance of
their unique sonic signatures. The API Collection carries on the Waves legacy of
advanced audio technology. The API Collection is much more than software
emulations of hardware; it is the sound of API.
API 550A EQ
Modeled on API’s late 1960’s legend, the API 550A EQ delivers a sound that
has been a hallmark of high end studios for decades. It provides reciprocal
equalization at 15 points in 5 steps of boost divided into three overlapping
ranges. The high and low frequency ranges are individually selectable as either
peaking or shelving, and a band-pass filter can be inserted independently of all
other settings. The 550A is a uniquely powerful equalizer with that
one-of-a-kind API sound.
Features:
- 5 selected frequency centers per band
- Reciprocal and repeatable filtering
- Maximum 12 dB of boost/cut per band in 2-3 dB steps
- "Proportional Q" narrows filter Q at extremes
- High headroom +30 dB clip level
API 550B
Featuring four overlapped EQ bands, the 550B gives tracks that sweet analog
sound that API is renowned for. With 7 switchable filter frequencies spanning up
to 5 octaves per band, the 550B’s “Proportional Q” automatically widens the
filter bandwidth at minimal settings and narrows it at higher settings. It even
lets you undo previous processing, affect or even reverse tonal modifications.
With its vast range of tonal possibilities, the API 550B is a versatile EQ for
all your processing needs.
Features:
- 7 selected frequency centers per band
- Reciprocal and repeatable filtering
- 12 dB of boost/cut per band
- Bands 1 and 4 offer shelf/peak switching
- High headroom +30 dB clip level
API 560
Based on API’s 1967 classic, the 560 10-Band Graphic Equalizer features
precision filtering and massive headroom, so you can take your sound to the edge
and beyond. The 560’s curve shaping potential is unmatched, while API's unique
"Proportional Q" design intuitively widens the filter bandwidth at lower
boost/cut levels and narrows it at higher settings. And since boost and cut
characteristics are identical, previous actions can be easily undone. For
precision equalization with unmatched versatility, turn to the EQ heard on top
recordings for decades: the API 560.
Features:
- Familiar one octave centers
- 12 dB of boost/cut per band
- "Proportional Q" narrows filter Q at extremes
- Additional resolution in the critical ±4 dB region
- Clip level > +28 dBu
API 2500
The API 2500 is a dynamics processing powerhouse that lets you deliver the
punch with absolute accuracy. Its dual channel design lets the 2500 also
function as two separate mono channels via a single compression setting. Using
auto-makeup gain, you can adjust Threshold or Ratio while automatically
maintaining a constant output level. With both "feed back" and "feed forward"
compression types, the 2500 boasts a wide range of incredibly musical parameters
which have made it a favorite of engineers the world over.
Features:
- 3-position Thrust high-pass filter
- Variable Link left and right channels
- 3 Variable Link filter types
- 3 compression modes: Soft, Medium and Hard Knee
- 6 Release settings ? 5 fixed, 1 continuous
