Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

API’s 565 is a three-band filter module built around filter circuitry associated with the 215 module in large-format API consoles. It provides high-pass, low-pass, and notch filtering, with broad frequency coverage from 20Hz through 20kHz across its available controls. The notch section offers three selectable ranges and adjustable Q, while the balanced, transformer-coupled output suits a balanced signal path. It is a dedicated module format processor with a 15-position edge connection.
