Welcome to our website! A site dedicated to the parts and components for
the vintage style API recording consoles of the 1970’s.
Be sure to check out our NEW Reference Documents Page! I think you will find some familiar things and a
few things that have not been published on the web before. Feel free to download anything you want. That is why it is there!!!
Being the owner of a 1976 API model 3232 recording console, I have been down many roads to get her restored perfectly
and functioning just like I want. This is actually still a work in progress! I have come to enjoy restoring, repairing and
modifying my desk almost as much as recording and mixing on it.
During this never-ending task, I have created, duplicated and sourced many unique printed circuit boards and other
components that make these desks special. The modular and discrete component building blocks are spectacular to work with
and of course the “sound” of a vintage, discrete analog recording console is hard to beat. The old API’s are modular in
build and are quite friendly for DIY modifying. Much different that the way production circuits are designed and built
these days. Nothing surface mount here!
I hope that you will find something of interest here. A part or component that will make your console, summing mixer or
other DIY project…vintage sounding and one of a kind.
If you have any component requests or ideas, please feel free to drop us an email here: sales@classicapi.com
