API T12 Tube Microphone Preamp

API Select T12 is a dual channel Class-A microphone preamplifier built with dual-triode vacuum tubes representing a new take on the classic API sound.

Each channel features a classic, backlit VU meter, variable microphone impedance switch, three-position low cut switch, and dedicated controls for gain and level with the intention of delivering a wide range of preamp options, including stereo operation.
