Each of the ASM164's sixteen analog input channels offers proprietary API opamp buffers, insert send and returns, and four-segment LED level meters. Control your mix with premium level and center-detent pan controls, with two independent stereo program busses for an A and B mix. The mix outputs also feature stereo send and returns, perfect for introducing a mastering chain or bus effects. At these outputs, the signature API 2520 OpAmps and proprietary transformers ensure your audio is treated to all the analog enrichment it deserves, with stereo output level VU meters for clear gain control.
