Desktop Monitor Controller featuring one main and two altenate stereo outputs, seven selectable stereo input sources, plus built-in Talkback mic.


Drawing inspiration from the monitor control modules of all API consoles, the MC531 features a Main and two Alternate stereo outputs, the latter having individual trims for speaker level matching. Programmable subwoofer integration allows the user to link the Sub with the Main and/or either of the Alternate outputs. With a total of seven selectable stereo input sources (three analog line-level inputs, AES, USB, plus 3.5mm and Bluetooth), the MC531 can meet the monitoring needs of almost any studio setup. Two independent Headphone outputs and a built-in Talkback mic complement the feature set. Of course, the classic API 41-detent Control Room Knob is right at your fingertips.

“API has always strived to engineer products that the audio community needs and wants,” said API President Larry Droppa. “In the case of the MC531, we’re offering a truly professional monitoring solution that’s equally at home in a commercial studio as it is in a smaller, personal creative space. Anyone familiar with an API console will immediately recognize the layout, functionality and the tradition that’s built into this incredible sounding monitor controller.”

Units are now shipping. Like all API products, the MC531 features API’s industry-exclusive Five Year Warranty. For further details, please visit apiaudio.com.
