The center section of API's renowned analog consoles for DAW workflows

Expanding upon its esteemed legacy of crafting top-tier mixing and recording consoles, API proudly presents the innovative MC531 Monitor Controller. Exemplifying the meticulous craftsmanship inherent in API's entire product range, the MC531 introduces a standalone iteration of the monitoring capabilities embedded in the central section of API's analog consoles. Tailored to deliver comprehensive monitor control for DAW workflows, the MC531 seamlessly integrates into diverse audio production environments, maintaining API's commitment to quality and versatility.

Abundant I/O for a Large-Scale Studio

The MC531 boasts an extensive array of inputs and outputs, catering to the demands of large-scale studios. Its primary stereo output, complemented by two alternate outputs, effortlessly accommodates your primary studio monitors, secondary speakers, and mix cubes. Notably, the alternate outputs feature speaker level trims. The MC531's programmable subwoofer integration seamlessly links the sub output with the main and/or either of the alternate outputs. Furthermore, the controller provides flexibility with seven selectable stereo input sources, including three analog line-level inputs, AES, USB, 3.5mm, and Bluetooth.

Professional monitoring solution for commercial spaces and project studios

"API has always strived to engineer products that the audio community needs and wants. In the case of the MC531, we're offering a truly professional monitoring solution that's equally at home in a commercial studio as it is in a smaller, personal creative space. Anyone familiar with an API console will immediately recognize the layout, functionality and the tradition that's built into this incredible sounding monitor controller." - Larry Droppa, API president
