The 3124V is designed with the professional engineer in mind, giving the highest possible quality 4 channel mic preamp, while keeping the size and price at a reasonable level. Equally at home in the control room, the studio, and news or recording truck, at the house console, on the stage, direct-to-DAT, or at the artist's disposal for the source of his music.

The model 3124V utilizes the same microphone preamp circuit that is used in all API consoles. It uses the RE-115 K mic input transformer and the same output transformer that is used in all API equalizers. All four mic inputs of the 3124V are powered by an internal 48 volt phantom power supply, front panel switchable for each channel. Also provided is a front panel 20 dB pad switch that effects both the Mic and Line in.

The model 3124V can provide up to 65 dB of gain to an output clip level of +30 dBm. The Hi-Z front panel input goes directly to the op-amp, allowing a low level input such as a guitar or bass to be amplified without a matching transformer or direct box. This Hi-Z input can take input levels as high as +22, making it perfect for keyboards and other high level devices. The rear output is an XLR connector.
