Page 6: About This Manual
Experienced engineers may get up and running quickly by simply checking the graphic overviews at the start of the sections. If you are new to API consoles and multitrack recording, it’s recommended that you read the entire manual at least once and keep it at the console for reference. -
Page 7: Introduction
We continue the API Legacy with the Legacy AXS Recording and Mixing Console. Featuring the traditional API analog signal path, the AXS also offers a new and powerful feature set, all at an attractive price for today's studios, artists, engineers and producers. -
Page 8: Configuration Options
Routable Sine-wave oscillator Four USER buttons (toggled contact closures on D-connector) As with all API products, The Legacy AXS Console offers the same exacting craftsmanship featured on all API large format consoles, including a unique 5-year warranty on all parts. -
Page 9: Console Configuration
200 slot may be fitted with one of three dynamic processors or filters. The 500 EQ slot can be fitted with one of four API EQ and filter options or any VPR Alliance approved 500 Series module (except preamps). Any or all of the slots may be left open for future expansion. -
Page 10: Lower 200 Slot
The 500 Series slot on each channel strip is intended to house the channel equalizer (EQ). This 500 Series slot complies with VPR Alliance standards so it can accept any API or VPR approved 500 Series module except preamps. This slot is not designed to house a preamp and does not have a 48v power supply for phantom power. -
Page 11: Master Bucket
Master Bucket The master bucket of the Legacy AXS contains routing and controls for buses, summing, outputs, monitoring and other central console controls. From top to bottom the sections include: • Program Meter Bridge 2500C Stereo Bus Compressor • •... -
Page 12: Channel Signal Path Architecture
After recording, both audio paths can be routed to the program buses to provide additional inputs during mix-down. On the Legacy AXS these audio paths are referred to as the Small Fader path and the Large Fader path. -
Page 13: Multitrack Buses
Multitrack Buses There are twenty-four (24) Multitrack Buses which feed the Active Combining Amplifiers (ACA). The Large Fader or Small Fader can be assigned to any of the 24 Multitrack Buses in the 624 Bus Assignment Module. Only one audio path, Small Fader or Large Fader, can be assigned to the Multitrack Buses at a time. -
Page 14: Small Fader To Multitrack
Default AXS Signal Flow: With no routing buttons engaged, the default channel signal flow is as follows: • Small Fader path: Input: output of the preamp (upper 200 slot) Signal Processing: Lower 200 slot (COMP) Output: Assignable (Direct Output, Multitrack Buses, & Program Buses) •... -
Page 15: Large Fader To Multitrack
In this configuration, the Large Fader path will be used to mix the multitrack returns and must be assigned to a stereo Program Bus for monitoring. Assign the Large Fader path to the desired stereo bus by engaging the STA, STB, or STC and the PAN buttons in the LG section on the 624 Bus Assignment module. -

Model 1608, thus preserving its sonic qualities. This mic-pre articulates high frequencies with great detail, while delivering the big sounding, warm bottom end that API is famous for. Whether it's a live performance or the private setting of a studio session, the 212 will capture every nuance of the moment. -
Page 18: Direct Input
All Discrete Design • The API 205 Direct Instrument Input is specifically designed to accept a guitar or bass direct into it, without any loading on the pickups. The Gain Control is used to normalize the instrument's input level, up to a +4dBu output level. With the use of the unique TONE control, the low end "mud"... -

However, the ALT LINE INPUTs are available via a multi-pin connector on the back of the patch bay to allow normal interfacing to these points.

Page 21: Channel Signal Processing
The lower 200 slot is usually designated for dynamic processing, although a filter set can be installed instead. Lower 200 Slot The lower 200 slot is designed to house one of the three API 200 Series signal processor modules: 225 Compressor/Limiter (standard configuration) 235 Noise Gate 215 Sweep Filter The lower 200 slot is typically fitted with an API 225 Compressor/Limiter. -
Page 22: Noise Gate/ Expander
Transformer Output, to +28dBu • The API 235 Noise Gate/Expander has the ability to reduce noise in any type of program. The 235 can open unusually fast, without losing any part of the sound. Its extreme flexibility, repeatable settings, and superb sound make it ideal for all studio, live sound, and broadcast applications. - Page 23 100mS. The 235 makes use of the 2510 and 2520 op-amps and therefore exhibits the reliability, long life, and uniformity which are characteristic of all API products. The controls for the 235 Noise Gate/Expander function as follows:...

Page 24: High-Pass, Low-Pass Sweep Filter
500 Series Equalizer Slot The Legacy AXS channel strip is 1.5” inches wide in order to accommodate a VPR Alliance approved 500 Series slot. This slot is designed to house the channel equalizer. The 500 Series EQ slot may be fitted with one of the four API equalizer/filter choices or any VPR Alliance approved 500 Series module, except preamps (the channel signal flow is not designed to accommodate a preamp in this slot.) -
Page 25: Discrete 3-Band Equalizer
Still copied, but never duplicated, the 550A became API's standard channel module EQ when the company began manufacturing consoles in 1971. With virtually all existing units spoken for, popular demand for this EQ resulted in API finally resuming production in 2004. -
Page 26: Discrete 4-Band Eq
"undo" what has been done previously with exact precision. The benefits of the API 550b are most obvious to those who work with EQ on a continuous basis. If major tonal restructuring is required, the extraordinary headroom made possible with API's 2520 Op Amp offers the predictable and warm analog performance, even under duress. -
Page 27: 10-Band Graphic Equalizer
• Based on the original 1969 API 560 EQ Originally conceived for use in API consoles of the '60s and '70s, the 560 is a unique device designed to accomplish tasks that no other EQ can. Extremely fast to set and reset using accurate zero detents, the curve shaping potential of the 560 remains unmatched. -
Page 28: Filter Bank
Traditional API fully discrete circuit design • • Uses API 2520 and 2510 Op-Amps as well as the same discrete transistor buffers used in the famous 550 series equalizers The 565 Filter Bank module has circuits that are true to the musical filters of the famed 215 module found in large format API consoles. -

The GAIN pot can be either switched IN for manual gain control, or it can be left OUT and the 25OO will bring the output level up and down automatically, keeping the signal at the same level regardless of where the THRESH or RATIO controls are set. This is the same as the API 525 Ceiling control. - Page 86 Just to the right of the VU meters, there is a set screw adjustment. This adjustment is to rock or tilt the signal left or right when in the auto gain mode, allowing subtle corrections in the stereo image if it is off center when compressing. This control only affects the image when the 25OO is above the threshold, and does not do anything when the signal is not being compressed.
