Auch ohne Kompressor ist die Stimme "in your face". und sitzt perfekt im Mix.
Einer der besten Preamp,den ich ausprobiert habe
Zögert nicht den Api zu testen.

Superbe préampli
Raphaël5044 05.10.2020
J'ai récemment fais l'acquisition de ce préampli micro afin de compléter ma "collection" de préamplis en format 500. J'utilise régulièrement au studio des préampli Neve 1073 et SSL VHD, et voulais pouvoir "comparer" avec cet API 312.
Niveau son, je suis très satisfait sur les prises vocales ! C'est riche et bien tenu dans le bas, très propre dans le bas-mid, les high mid accrocheurs sans être agressifs... Punch et clarté.
Coté utilisation, je trouve que le niveau d'entrée est plutôt élevé quand le potard de gain est à "0", je suis souvent obligé de mettre le pad -20dB, ce qui ne m'arrive jamais pour une voix avec d'autres préamplis. Le Vu-Mètre est efficace et bien lisible !
Il manquerait peut être aussi une entrée jack combo/xlr en surface comme sur mes 1073 pour que ça soit parfait !
Bref, excellent produit, je recommande !

Gut ...aber der Preis
500er Anfänger :-) 06.10.2024
Zunächst mal....der Sound ist wirklich dick ...mit satten Tiefmitten...trotzdem sauber ...nicht zu schnell....sehr präsent/vorn.
Nur klingt ein KV 80 (alter DDR preamp aus mp 4084 mischpult) sehr nah dran...
Nicht ganz so dick ...dafür etwas schneller...noch präsenter....wie gemacht für Schlagzeug Aufnahmen....und das ganze fast geschenkt..preislich....ich hab ein ganzes Pult und muss das jetzt restaurieren.....:-)
Der API ist völlig zu Recht so beliebt ....und ich wollte es wissen....aber der Preis ist mir zu hoch ....vor allem wenn man einige braucht für Schlagzeug usw...
Ich habe meine Alternative und kann beides nur empfehlen....
