Looking for API Console dimensions...

Post by Crusty »

Anyone have access to the docs to a full-size desk, or even a little 1608? I'm looking for the dimensions for the fader buckets, routing module buckets, and the meter buckets. I thought the fader plate length was the same as the Neve, but 1.5" wide instead of 1.8" (?)...

Spoke to a friend in LA who has an old API. He's gonna pull the docs and see what's there. Out of interest, I asked him to get a part number for the female edge connectors that the eq plugs into. The connectors are unusual in that they are the dual-row type, but actually 'normal' (left pin-to-right pin) when you pull a module out - so if you yank a module you don't have to insert a dummy plug. I think they are rare as hen's teeth nowdays though...
