SV12 500 Series Compressor

API SV12

API brings us a new addition to their API Select line with the SV12 compressor, a 500 series module that is a recreation of the compressors found in API Paragon live mixing consoles of yore. Designed for ease of use, the controls are straightforward and give you ratios from 1–10, threshold knob, and gain control. Use two of these and hit the Link button for stereo functionality and a unique Thrust button ensures that high frequency content won't be lost even under the most extreme compression. If you're looking to add an API compressor to your rig or want some more variety in your studio, API Select's SV12 500 series compressor is a strong contender.
