{"product_id":"api-audio-565-filter-bank-182476","title":"565 Filter Bank","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Classic API Console Feature, Adapted into a Studio Module\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe API 565 Filter Bank builds on the spirit of the \"musical\" filters from the 215 module found in large-format API consoles. While some filters are merely utilitarian, API's approach aims for quick, effective, and ear-pleasing correction, with a response designed to serve the mix. This lineage is evident in how the 565 allows you to clear space in the low end, clean up the highs, or remove a resonance without altering the source's character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts design remains true to the brand's DNA: a fully discrete traditional architecture, using API 2520 and 2510 operational amplifiers, as well as discrete transistor buffers already acclaimed in the 550 series equalizers. The result is a filtering module conceived as a genuine console tool, capable of integrating naturally into a recording chain or a modern mixing channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Whom and For What: A \"Production\" Filter for Everyday Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 565 is aimed at sound engineers, producers, and studios seeking a high-end filtering module that is both fast and precise. It excels at \u003cstrong\u003epre-cleaning\u003c\/strong\u003e a track before compression, \u003cstrong\u003estabilizing\u003c\/strong\u003e a track in a dense mix, or \u003cstrong\u003eshaping\u003c\/strong\u003e a texture more surgically than a simple fixed filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn vocals, it helps remove unwanted vibrations and control sibilance or excess air without forcing the EQ. On drums, it reduces bleed, refines an overhead, or tames an aggressive cymbal. On guitar, synth, or stems, the notch filter with adjustable Q becomes a powerful tool to target problematic frequencies (body resonance, harshness, feedback, \"boxiness\") while maintaining a musical result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Design: API Precision Without Complication\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThree Sweepable Filters for Sculpting Without Overprocessing\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 565 combines a \u003cstrong\u003esweepable low-pass filter\u003c\/strong\u003e to tame highs and avoid harshness, a \u003cstrong\u003esweepable high-pass filter\u003c\/strong\u003e to clean up lows and improve clarity, and a \u003cstrong\u003enotch filter\u003c\/strong\u003e fully sweepable with \u003cstrong\u003eadjustable Q\u003c\/strong\u003e for more targeted work. This combination allows solving most spectral issues directly at the source, often more cleanly than multiplying EQ bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIndividual Bypasses: Session-Oriented Ergonomics\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach section features its own \u003cstrong\u003ebypass switch\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is an essential detail in the studio: you instantly compare the processing, validate a correction, and keep the creative flow without losing time. This \"console\" logic also facilitates manual automation during recall: settings remain in place, and you activate only what you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHeadroom, Symmetry, and Discrete Circuits\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced output up to +28 dBu\u003c\/strong\u003e, the 565 is designed to work with high levels, whether in a fully analog chain, inside a studio rack, or facing demanding converters. The fully discrete design, combined with API 2520 and 2510 op amps and discrete transistor buffers (as in the 550 series), contributes to the typical API \u003cstrong\u003epunch\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003epresence\u003c\/strong\u003e, while maintaining reliable and consistent behavior when pushing gain and dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eequalizer\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e3 channels\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSweepable low-pass filter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e500 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-pass slope\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e-12 dB or -18 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow-pass slope\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e-6 dB or -12 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully sweepable notch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e20 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSweepable high-pass filter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e20 Hz to 400 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Api Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358934192403,"sku":"182476","price":749.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/b8f7a3c76dee296d33f9ff7140c417ac35b3f15a_API_565.jpg?v=1792573589","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/api-audio-565-filter-bank-182476","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
