The API 312 is a 500 Series mic preamp based on the original 1970s design, featuring the 2520 op-amp and API transformers. It delivers warm, punchy tone with high headroom and is a standard version of the 50th Anniversary Edition, offering classic API sound at an affordable price.
The API 312 is one of the most iconic and sought-after microphone preamps in professional audio, originally introduced in the 1970s and widely regarded for its punchy, warm, and detailed sound. Serving as the foundation for the modern API 3124 rack unit, the 312 has earned its place in countless studios and on countless records.
Built around Saul Walker’s original design, the API 312 features API’s discrete 2520 op-amp and custom transformers, delivering high headroom, fast transient response, and the classic API character in a compact 500 Series module. This version follows the highly regarded hand-wired 50th Anniversary Edition, offering the same legendary tone in a standard production model at a more accessible price point.
As with all API products, the API 312 is hand-assembled in the USA and backed by a five-year warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent performance.
