This is an extremely sought after mixer with a sound that rivals or betters the best professional consoles available at any price.  Beautiful pure bass due to minimal phase shift and full bandwidth rock solid high definition sound quality from high grade components.  EQ is as good as dedicated esoteric units and mix bus can be pushed to such great effect - very few other analogue mixers and certainly no digital plug ins can achieve such euphonic ear pleasing saturation.The APB mixers are simply in a class of their own - there is no other modern 19" rack mixer with this many channels, quality of eq and sound quality available.In perfect working order - fully serviced in 2014 (invoice included).  Internal fan has been disconnected by instruction from APB they explained it will run fine like this if used in typical studio setting - it is easy to reconnect if it is to be used in a non ventilated rack or for live use.
Direct outs are set up for post EQ - they can be changed for many options - I can email the full documentation for this.
Cosmetically good condition - some wear and scratches from careful studio use - some of the scribble strips are worn through but not very noticeably.
20 Microphone pre-amplifiers in total. 12 Mono mic/line input channels and 4 Dual-Mono/Stereo mic/line input channels, all with Spectra-quality microphone preamplifiers in a 10u (17.5" in x 19") package.Minimum phase shift circuitry and internal Mother Board/Daughter Board construction derived from the Spectra console design.48 volt Phantom Power switch, Polarity Reverse switch, Mic/Line switch, Mic Pad switch on input channels. (Combo mic/line/pad switch on stereo input channels).Variable frequency high-pass filters on all Mono and Stereo input channels with a 20Hz to 400Hz sweep range at 12dB per octave.Mono input channels feature fixed high and low frequency EQ bands and two mid-sweep EQ bands, with EQ On switch with LED. The Stereo channels feature fixed high and low frequency EQ bands and a single mid-sweep EQ based on Spectra circuitry.Six aux sends; each pair of sends switchable between a pre or post fader source. In the pre-fader position, an additional front panel switch determines if that pre-fader signal is derived pre or post EQ. Aux controls 5 and 6 may be switched to become a stereo pair.All channels can assign to Left-Right, Center and Mono mix bus assignment along with additional assignment switches to subgroups 1-2 and 3-4. These outputs (including aux outputs) each have balanced XLR outputs, TRS bus inputs and TRS insert connectors.Left-Right, Center and Mono mix output level can be switched from line level to mic level.Internally illuminated Mute and PFL/AFL switches along with 6-segment LED channel metering and 100mm faders on all input channels.Four LED meters can monitor the Left, Right, Center and Mono outputs or the Group 1-4 outputs. Meters auto-switch to show Solo levels.Bus level signal monitoring using bi-color LED's on all 14 mix buses: Left, Right, Center, and Mono, Groups 1-4, and Aux 1-6.100-240 VAC, 50/60Hz Power Supply - Field replaceable (plug in) without disassembly of mixer.Rear panel rotates and may be locked in any of three preset angles (referenced to the front panel) - 90 degrees, 135 degrees, or 180 degrees.Adjustable lamp dimmer provided for the 4-Pin XLR connector for use with (optional) gooseneck lamp.
