Originally designed to fit into API consoles from the 60s and 70s, the 560 established itself as a unique graphic equalizer: direct, precise, and immediately musical. This 500 format version retains the DNA of the historic 1969 model while adapting to current workflows, with ergonomics designed for fast and effective work, both in the studio and mobile control rooms.
The API 560 is aimed at sound engineers, producers, and musicians who want a tool for quick frequency sculpting by ear. It excels at "setting" a curve in seconds on drums, bass, guitar, synths, or a bus, and correcting without killing the groove thanks to a very intuitive graphic approach. The central detents also facilitate A/B comparisons and quick returns to zero during a session.
Each band offers up to 12 dB of boost or cut, with fixed frequencies carefully chosen to cover the essential spectrum, from deep bass to air. The graphic format encourages a visual and musical approach: you draw an intention, then fine-tune by listening.
This "new-old" reissue improves resolution in the +/-4 dB range, where most mix corrections occur. The result: more nuance to clean up, tighten, or highlight a frequency area without over-processing.
The 560 features the brand's iconic circuits and components, including the legendary API 2520 op-amp, to deliver the precise filtering and energetic sound that API is known for. A Bypass switch allows instant validation of the equalization's impact within the mix context.
