API AUDIO 535-LA Overview

Ideal for boosting and warming up a wide range of signals, the API Audio 535-LA is a 500-series line amplifier module with 31-position detented input trim and continuously variable output level control. With discrete 2510 and 2520 op-amps and API's proprietary transformers, this module offers classic API character and warmth and in a compact and portable package.

The 535-LA features numerous functions for calibrating your signals, including a -20 dB input pad, a polarity inversion button, and a Calibrate Level button, which bypasses the input and output level controls in favor of calibration trim controls. Variable output gain ranges from 6 to 45 dB. The three-position Output Ratio switch allows you to toggle three different output transformer gain ratios, ideal for driving long, balanced lines with low distortion. The 535-LA features a single LED for clip indication. 

Based on The 325 Booster
Modeled after API's highly prized console-based 325 booster cards, the 535-LA can both amplify and attenuate incoming and outgoing signals for ultimate flexibility—all while providing API's trademark warmth and tone.
Ideal Applications
The 535 excels at adding warmth to a variety of signals. Recommended uses include:

  • Warm up digital signals of all kinds
  • Add tone to keyboard rigs
  • Add warmth to any mix
  • Added tone control of devices without level control, such as audio playback devices, mic preamps, and audio processors
