Product Description

This is one of our best sellers. We have one open box in stock only used on one session. perfect condition.

The API 2500+ is a versatile stereo bus compressor that allows adjustment of sonic qualities that can alter the punch and tone of the stereo mix. The 19" rack mountable unit features ATI's patented THRUST circuit for a chest-hitting, punchy bottom end. With its dual channel design, the API 2500 is set up for stereo compression, but can also be used as two separate units via a single compression setting. The 2500 boasts a range of parameters that make it incredibly musical.

API 2500+ Stereo Bus Compressor Features:

  • New Mix/Blend circuit with crossfade or parallel compression
  • Selectable ratio, attack, and release times
  • Expanded variable threshold between -20dBu to +20dBu
  • Selectable NEW or OLD switch for feed-forward or feed-back operation
  • Over Threshold LED illuminates when input audio crosses the set threshold
  • Patented Thrust filter with 3 settings for frequency-dependent sidechain control
  • 3 selectable compressor curve Knee settings: Soft, Medium, or Hard
  • Choice of Old (feedback) or New (feed-forward) compression
  • Preset or variable release time control
  • Variable Left/Right channel linking
  • Selectable automatic or manually variable make-up gain
  • 1/4" balanced XLR sidechain inputs
  • Audio circuit uses 2520 discrete op-amps
  • Premium stereo VU meters show selectable input or output
  • Full hardwire relay bypass


API pushes the envelope of flexibility further with selectable "old" or "new" compression. The old style uses the feedback type of compression found in the API 525, 1176 and Fairchild. The new style uses a feed forward type, similar to other popular compressors.

The output stage features API's auto-makeup gain button, permitting the user to vary the threshold or ratio while automatically maintaining a constant output level. Fidelity is ensured with an all-discrete, fully balanced design, and two front panel VU meters show input, output, and gain reduction levels.
