DESCRIPTION
Professional prop and effects builders know a secret: audio is more than half of the experience of a high-
quality prop or display. Until now, most consumer-level audio boards lacked some real professional features;
features like quality amplification, stand-alone randomization of sounds, relay control for automated output
while audio plays, and easy connections for manual and remote control. The AP-16+ is a high-quality, WAV
file player designed for serious prop builders of all levels. It’s very easy to use, rich in features, and is easily
integrated into props and displays.
