The API 560 is a classic 10-band graphic equalizer known for its precision, punch, and musicality. Featuring proprietary API 2520 op-amps and center-detented sliders, it delivers consistent, phase-coherent EQ across a wide frequency range. Ideal for both tracking and mixing, the 560 is prized for adding clarity, depth, and character—especially on drums, guitars, and vocals. Its smooth curves and powerful shaping make it a favorite in professional studios worldwide.
