Fletch.... can you identify the single VU API rack unit on the cover of MIX?

In the background, right center there are 3 2500's but what the heck are the other two? Thanks!

The rack contains a linked mutlichannel (surround) unit: It or a sibling is discussed on the API website-

It's a custom build surround 2500. Build for and owned by Ronald Prent (not owned by Galaxy self). It's a unique piece, however you prolly can order a custom one yourself if you'd like.
Ronald also had input in the design of the Vision.

There are 4 actual 2500's in the rack. 3 that are normal looking, and one that I split up into 2 mono units for ease of operation.

4 of them are linked in a very complicated manner, something that Ronald and I worked on for months. The last one is stock.

The linking is adjustable in either direction from each of the units, and the threshhold control is also linkable. It is quite the sound. There are many engineers in Europe that travel there just to run their mixes through it for the tone.

I will be coming out with a surround compressor after the 1st of the year. It will be killer, with a remote control, memory and the tone of the lord.
