 | I've never bought anything from them, but a buddy bought a used SSL 6k from them a few years ago and it arrived as new - incredible refurb. Makes me think they know what they are doing... |

IMO, when APIīs are padded they sound different, I donīt like them. I donīt know, itīs maybe me... I am trying to find a thread where they talk about some trims that work perfect on the output of APIīs. I wonder where this thread is! One thing for sure, better to pad a PRE rather than the MIC!

| One important thing about any pad design is that it must present proper source impedances both to the mic and to the input of the preamp. Typically that means the pad needs to present maybe a 1500 Ohm load for the mic and 150 Ohms towards the mic preamp, especially if the pre uses an input transformer. Bri |

| I just picked up a couple of the Shure in-line pads. I especially need on my Yamaha Subkick (woofer outside of kick drum). This thing is so hot, I can't even move the gain knob on my APIs without overloading the pre. I would love to get the API cranking a bit and breaking a bit of a sweat here...we'll see how they sound I guess...

...Can tell you first hand that the console we bought from them was in top shape. It was basically brand new, but nevertheless in great condition. It took a while to get the console delivered, but once we passed that stage, it's definitely an A+ for PAD. Now, what other PAD were we talking about? IVS Studio Manager | |
