CAPI is a passion-driven pro audio brand rooted in the pursuit of classic analog tone, founded by Jeff Steiger out of his hands-on restoration of a vintage 1970s API console and a desire to recreate the sound of legendary American recording desks. Built around discrete, modular design and true through-hole components - "nothing surface mount here" - CAPI celebrates the craftsmanship and sonic character of vintage gear while making it accessible to today’s engineers through high-quality kits, components, and assembled modules.  Focused on the iconic sound of late-’60s and ’70s consoles, their lineup of 500 Series mic preamps, EQs, compressors, and summing solutions delivers rich, musical, and unmistakably analog tone, while also embracing a DIY ethos that empowers users to build, customize, and truly connect with their gear.
