The DB25 connectors located at the back provide you with an easy connection to almost any multichannel interface or patchbay you can think of (provided they use those connectors). The 8-slot powered lunchbox rack is a highly portable and functional addition to any home studio.
With many bedroom producers operating out of their small apartments, 500 series is an attractive option as they have a small form factor and are easily transportable for producers ‘on the move’.Īh, API – the company that brought the 500 series to life. Portability and convenience are also huge contributors to the success of the 500 series. To many of us, this is a much more freeing experience than being limited to a fixed console desk (not to mention, a lot cheaper). Why Add 500 Series To Your Home Studio Setup?Ī large part of the 500 series’ success is that it ushered producers into a whole new world of customization.ĭue to its modular nature, engineers can easily ‘mix and match’ modules from different manufacturers, creating the signal path of their dreams. We’re basically spoilt for choice now, and it can get a little confusing as to where to begin when selecting the best 500 series chassis for your home studio. Some of these include things like link switches, stereo compatibility, and extra routing choices for the producers who like to get proper modular with their summing and routing. With the growing popularity of 500 series gear, a handful of companies are now also producing their own variations of 500 series racks.Īs companies try to compete with each other for market share, we now see many variations of these cases, each with their pros and cons. Each case is built to hold a number of units (modules), and besides powering up the modules, the case also suppies input and output routing to each unit. On a very basic level, individual modules (such as an EQ) are inserted into a rack that supplies power to the modules. Those in the know are aware that it is not actually a case for your sandwiches, but rather a revolution in the audio industry’s interaction with rack unit gear. It was invented by API in the 1970s, and has now become a widely popular modular analog format for rack gear. The term ‘lunchbox’ is thrown around the industry, to the confusion of many.
