Track and mix using stunning emulations of API's most iconic preamp, compression, EQ and expander/gate console modules
Glue together your stereo mixes and subgroups with the world’s finest circuit emulation of the revered API 2500 compressor
Easily track "through" the world’s only authentic plug-in emulation of the legendary Class-A, API 212L mic preamp
Sculpt sources with API's vintage 560 10-band graphic EQ module and beloved 550A parametric EQ
Included Plug-Ins
API Vision Channel Strip Collection
Giving you all the critical recording and mixing functions in a single plug‑in, the API Vision Channel Strip Collection lets you sculpt your tracks with API's iconic L‑Series modules from its flagship large‑format Vision console. Easily punch up signals through the iconic API 212L preamp, expertly sculpt sources with the new 560L series ten‑band graphic EQ module and modern four-band 550L parametric EQ, tame transients using the 225L compressor, clamp down on noise with the 235L gate/expander, and dial in sources using the fully sweepable 215L's Hi/Lo pass filters.
API 2500 Bus Compressor
An obsessively accurate emulation of API’s flagship compressor — including detailed modeling of API's custom transformers and 2510 and 2520 op amps — the API 2500 Bus Compressor plug‑in adds energy, movement, and tone to stereo mixes and subgroups just like the hardware. Easily punch up low frequencies using API's patented Thrust® technology, select between "Old” and "New” style compression with feedback or feed‑forward sounds, sharpen your workflow with plug‑in‑only Mix and Headroom controls, and contour your mix's stereo interaction with percent‑based L/R Link controls.
API Preamp
Easily add the same character and tone of API's hit-making 212L mic preamp with a simple two-knob plug‑in, perfect for Apollo owners. Offering the same features found in API's flagship Vision Console, including a Mic/Line switch, dedicated cut filter, and ‑6 dB Line pad, the API Preamp plug‑in lets you record "through" the iconic preamp in real time using Apollo interfaces, with low DSP use. And with Unison technology, you get all of the classic preamp’s impedance, gain staging “sweet spots,” and circuit behaviors that have made it legendary.
API 500 EQ Collection
Faithfully capturing the punch, transparency, and tight imaging of API’s iconic vintage EQs, the API 500 EQ Collection expertly emulates these classic tone shapers. The API 550A offers three overlapping bands of parametric EQ, independent 50 Hz to 15 kHz band-pass filter, and selectable peaking/shelving modes. The API 560 plug‑in lets you sculpt with ten bands of graphic EQ, ideal for crafting with surgical precision. Plus, API’s “Proportional Q” intuitively widens bandwidth at lower boost/cut levels and narrows it at higher levels, giving you more control over your mix.
Note: The API Complete UAD Bundle does not include LUNA API Console Emulation or API Summing Extensions.

Awesome !
need to try and learn, so much character but not for beginners. never love the SSL G-Bus Glue, cause API 2500 is much easier and punchier!

If you need the API sound then this is it
Absolutely love this channel strip, I bought it mostly to use with drum overheads but find myself using it on other tracks as well. The gate is very musical and the compression is really nice to color the sound in the API way. Really brought some of my mixes to life………rule of thumb, try it out, if you know what it does try it out and you will buy it. It does what it does perfectly and it’s a tool that will ease your life and quicken mixing speed

The 560 is my number 1 additive EQ. The harmonics and subtle curves can shape like no other. I highly recommend taking this for a test drive. You won't be disappointed

This is a great sounding channel strip especially for those of us who cant afford or have the room for the hardware
J. Ligner
Very good Api channel strip
Really love this one on drums. I'm pretty sure to use it on each session!
C. King
Impressed
I wasn't sure how much I would like or use this plugin, but because it sounds so good I'm loving it and using it all the time! Well done UA.
U. Sabiniewicz
Sound is good, but
Yes, the sound is good, saturation on Mic input is great, but it is not available as console or UAD2 even if they promise you can claim, in fact its not working, it is just another plugin.
And the handling of this rotating knobs is a nightmare. Support is = Zero.A. Paradiso
Boom
Great!
J. Vallander
Sounds amazing
I’ve compared it to waves API and it doesn’t even come close to how great UAD sounds
b. lugay
Oh yeah
Finally got to use for the first time.
Simple not sure why i waited this longS. Allí
Best Api Eq
Best Api plugin sound maybe , it would be great to fix or update this issues or foggoten things, 560 level up the volume even no touch eq and there’s not a 560B and mid bands , for the rest is a nice eq for everything sound very open and great color.
A. Chadwick
Disappointed to find this does not immediately work as a Luna console
I bought this thinking it would work as a LUNA 'console' since the device being emulated looks the same as the limited-time demo of the 'LUNA extension'., and the name is almost the same, amongst the list of software you are invited to browse when clicking on 'Explore' within LUNA. Very disappointed to find that you cannot load it from the console menu - it's a channel strip, after all.
F. d'Ersu
Sounds great
Nice strip, pleasing analog emulation. Maybe not as subtle as acustica pink for example but it is also way lighter in terms of resources.
f. cardini
Great channel strip!
Clear, punchy ! What else ? The best for rock and blues voice and instruments !
