Historical Background
API (Automated Processes Inc.) was formed in 1968 with Saul Walker and
Lou Lindauer. API is perhaps most noted for their modular approach to equip-
ment manufacturing and for their now legendary 2520 amplifier. To this day,
the extraordinary headroom made possible with the 2520 offers consistent
analog performance even when using radical EQ curves. API quickly became
the leading audio broadcast console manufacturer for radio and television
networks and high profile stations. Soon after, recording studios both large
and small began using API. The API brand and the company’s commitment to
excellent audio design endures to this day.
