API 2500 Stereo Bus Compressor

The API 2500 is a stereo bus compressor used to bring out more punch and tone in your mix. It gives you a selection of older or newer sounding compression ranging from the type found in the old API 525, 1176, and the fairchild. Essentially, once you have finished your mix, the API is then used to bring everything together and add that extra bit of sparkle and polish. It really injects a punch to your mix that you can't get out of the competitive units.
