Los Angeles, California - Oct. 2013:
API announces the placement of another 1608 console in Southern California, this time into the newly complete and fully-furnished demo room at Westlake Pro.

The choice to add the 1608 to Studio A came with ease. "The API 1608 is a fantastic tracking console with an impressive legacy. It appeals to anyone looking to keep analog production techniques in today's digital workstation environments," said Westlake's CEO George Adjieff. "The high-quality circuitry, the classic analog look, feel, and sound of an API console are unmatched."

"It is customizable so that you can add any API 500 Series® modules that you need, enabling you the flexibility to craft your perfect console," said Westlake President Joe Taupier. "The layout is intuitive and easy to understand, allowing a wide range of producers, mixers, and engineers to focus all their attention on what they do best — making the music sound just right."

As longtime API supporters, Westlake Pro knows the value of quality products with a longstanding reputation. "API has a legendary lineage, great brand recognition, and everything about this mixer is well-conceived," said Taupier. "The layout is smart, the board is made from quality components, and any studio will instantly receive esteem and credibility if an API console is in the room."

The 1608 has become a popular addition to Westlake Pro and a regular spot to find pro audio lovers and gear enthusiasts. "Clients are wildly impressed with the API 1608 in our space," said Adjieff. "Our clients enjoy spending hours trying it out, listening to mixes, and demoing and evaluating other pieces of equipment. It really is the central piece of gear in the room, and really enhances the studio that we've designed around it."
