1608-II Console
Recording Console
From API:
The 1608 console, between its mkI and mkII revisions, has been installed in over 600 studios around the world. It's the quintessential American recording console: clean, crisp tone; flexible routing options; and full-featured automation.
Final Touch Automation combines system reliability, user flexibility and operational simplicity and offers a host of features found only in the most expensive and sophisticated console automation systems typically costing many times more. Consoles can be factory-fitted with Final Touch Automation prior to delivery, and existing 1608-II consoles can be retrofitted with Final Touch Automation
