API has introduced Channel Strip, a combo pack of the 512C mic pre, the 550a EQ, the 527 compressor and the 325 line driver.
Each processing piece can be switched in or bypassed individually, and a flip switch allows the compressor to be placed after the EQ if desired. Additional features include an insert point, side chain input, multiple metering locations and the API 2520/transformer combination.
The new API Channel Strip is currently shipping.
