About this item

The API 550 from Waves is a plug-in developed in association with API that models two classic API equalization modules. The API 550A module is modeled on the legendary late '60s hardware and provides reciprocal and repeatable equalization at fifteen points in five steps of boost, divided into three overlapping ranges. The high and low frequency ranges are individually selectable as either peaking or shelving, and a band-pass filter can be inserted independently of all other settings.

API 550A

Five selected frequency centers per band Maximum 12 dB of boost/cut per band in 2-3 dB steps "Proportional Q" narrows filter Q at extremes High headroom, +30 dB clip level

API 550B

Seven selected frequency centers 12 dB of boost/cut per band Bands 1 and 4 offer shelf/peak switching High headroom, +30 dB clip level
