Capricorn Sound Studios

STUDIO GEAR LIST

The centerpiece of any studio is its console, and the Capricorn Sound Studios console is in an elite class.

Capricorn’s famous sound was born from the soul of API consoles, and that is how the famous sound will continue in a whole new class of API consoles. The main tracking room studio will feature a state-of-the-art, custom-built API 40-channel 2448 Series console.

Designed to the same standard of excellence as the 1608, Legacy AXS and Vision consoles, API proudly announces the debut of this new 2448 Recording Console. The 2448 offers a powerful and impressive feature set including dual inputs on each channel, stereo returns, and optionally, API’s new cross-platform Final TouchTM fader automation system. The 2448 expands API’s powerful line of world-class analog recording consoles and continues API’s 50-year legacy of combining functionality and reliability with the unmistakable warmth of the API sound.
