I recognize that one cannot believe 100% of what Marketing says, however, I still thought there would be more users of the API 525 out there. But judging by the response to this post, I guess not many people have used this compressor.
The API product sheet for the 525 compressor says that it is
"...one of the most popular API products ever."
"The API 525 is perhaps the most successful solid state feedback compressor in history."
Wow, those are bold statements. If I were to judge by forum "chatter" then I would suspect that the 550s are the "most popular" API product--but who am I to say.
Still, I am surprised not many have use the 525.
