The API Select SV12 features the original compressor circuitry designed for ATI Paragon analog live mixing consoles. Redesigned for the 500 series format, the SV12 offers comprehensive, easy-to-use compression with full output LED metering and gain reduction. The unit also includes API's patented THRUST circuitry, which protects the sensitive high-frequency content of the audio signal, even under the most vigorous compression rates. Two channels can be linked for use as a stereo compressor with true RMS power summing of the left and right signals.
