API 3122V 2-Channel Microphone Preamplifier<\/h2>\n

The API 3122V<\/strong> is a compact, powerful 2-channel mic preamp<\/strong> that brings API's legendary analogue tone and punch to any studio setup. Drawing from the iconic designs of the 312, 512c, 512V, 3124V, and 3124MV<\/strong> preamps, the 3122V offers the same trusted circuitry, complete with API's discrete 2520 Op Amps<\/strong> and proprietary output transformers for massive headroom, fast transients, and unmistakable sonic character.<\/p>\n

Each channel on the 3122V provides up to 68 dB of gain<\/strong> and includes a full suite of professional controls: Variable Output Level<\/strong> for precise gain staging, a fixed-frequency high-pass filter<\/strong> for low-end management, and the popular 3:1 Output Transformer Tap<\/strong> for added tonal flexibility. Whether you're tracking vocals, drums, guitar, or synths, the 3122V delivers the API sound - clean, punchy, and dynamic.<\/p>\n

Inputs are conveniently accessible via both front and rear XLR jacks<\/strong>, and a front-panel 1\/4\u201d Hi-Z input<\/strong> allows direct connection of instruments like guitar, bass, or keyboards. A front panel selector switch makes it easy to toggle between mic and instrument input, while additional front-panel switches give you instant access to phantom power (48V)<\/strong>, polarity reverse (POL)<\/strong>, and a -20 dB pad<\/strong>. Analogue VU metres<\/strong> with classic styling and a separate peak LED<\/strong> per channel give you accurate visual feedback for optimal level control.<\/p>\n
