The API 500-6B Lunchbox is a
6-slot rack designed to accept all API standard 5.25" X 1.5" modules.
This quality allows an engineer the flexibility to bring along
specialized EQ effects to any situation: 550A, 550b or 560. The lunchbox
is self-powered with a rear panel selected AC voltage switch and a
removable power cord. The input/output jacks are XLR. The lunchbox comes
standard with a +48 volt internal phantom power supply, bussed to pin
15 for interface with the API 512c Mic Preamplifier.
Features
Holds 6 API standard modules 215mA per slot DB-25 connectors for easy input and output connection XLRs to access channels 7 and 8 of the multipins Power rail LED indication Self-Powered, 100 to 250 Volts switchable, 47 to 63 Hz Rubber feet & carrying handle for portability Rugged steel chassis Perfect for remote recording of Vocalist and Instruments FREE if you purchase any (4) NEW 500 Series modules.**
API makes several modules for the 500-6B, including the 512c Mic
Preamplifier, the 525 Compressor, the 527 Compressor, the 550A 3-band
EQ, the 550b 4-band EQ and the 560 Graphic EQ. Combinations of these
modules make perfect stereo recording packages (two 512cs and two 550bs)
or vocalist's box (one 512c, two EQs and one 527).
Other uses for the versatile lunchbox include:
Multi-track recording of acoustic and electronic audio sources Sound reinforcement systems and recording to multi-track formats Multiple facility projects where portability is a plus Broadcast and audio for video production Custom channel input strips
NOTE: The older 560A equalizer may use pin 15 for a "direct output" and
must be disabled on the 560A circuit board edge connector by cutting a
trace. This will eliminate 48 volts from damaging the 560A series
equalizers.

The 500V can be ordered with an optional 48 volt phantom power supply, bussed to pin 15 for the API 512C to access. It must be noted that the older API 560A series equalizers used pin 15 for a "direct output" and must be disabled on the 560A circuit board edge connector by cutting a trace. This will eliminate 48 volts from damaging the 560A series equalizers.
API makes several modules to fit this rack, including the 550B, 560, 525, and 512C. These modules are designed to help expand existing limited input console configurations, allowing a facility an option to a larger console.

The Empirical Labs EL500 features ultra quiet power supply, instrument line input, flush-mount front panel.
Many manufacturers, including past Purple Audio prototypes, use linear
power supplies for their racks. Traditional wisdom holds that linear
power supplies are ideal for audio and generate less noise and
interference. In many cases, especially with poorly designed "off the
shelf" switching power supplies, this is true. However, in the case of a
10 slot series 500 rack, even a well designed linear power supply
generates a substantial magnetic hum field and far too much heat to
allow for internal mounting. This problem is caused in part by the wide
variation of line voltage across the world. External power supplies are
cumbersome and inconvenient and consideration still has to be taken as
to their placement in relation to other equipment. With the advancement
of switching power supplies it is now possible to have a switcher that
does not compromise audio performance and delivers or exceeds all
specified current needs. Purple Audio has spent years perfecting just
such a power supply. They have comparatively tested all of theirs, and
many of their competitors, modules at full bandwidth (10Hz - 500kHz) on
lab quality over built bench supplies to make sure that the Sweet Ten is
not compromising audio performance in any way. Simply put, your 500
series modules will perform at their highest level in a Purple Sweet Ten rack. Audio performance improvements are considerable.

The Sweet Ten top, side, and back panels are finished in trivalent
yellow chromate cold rolled steel instead of painted steel for improved
grounding and shielding. Purple Audio's ground plane motherboards
provide additional grounding. Additionally, the rack motherboard has
.1uf high frequency bypass capacitors at each slot to improve filtering,
especially for modules with DC/DC converters. Functionally, the Sweet
Ten offers 2 inputs and 2 outputs per slot. Many of the Purple modules
already take advantage of second output and the Moiyn mixer module will
use the second input to allow for stereo balanced source injection.
Future uses of these connectors include fader loops on future modules as
well as a few surprises!
The Brent Averill 312A "500 Series" mic preamps, made using the new Avedis 1122™ opamps, are punchy, have great bass and have a clear, extended top end. The sound is in your face and they don't compress transients. The low end is tight with good attack. They are excellent for drums and percussion. These pres are very cost effective. Many people buy racks of 6 or 11 to cover the entire drum kit. BAE 312A Module Features:
Modules plug into API™ compatable lunchboxes and racks
Made using Avedis™ 1122 opamps
Can be phantom powered if your rack has a 48v power supply built in Pin compatible with API™ 550A equalizers
Switches have gold contacts for long life
Supplied with Jensen input and output transformers at no additional cost
High impedance direct input for guitar and synthesizer 6 Module Portable Rack Wired to XLR Connectors
Strong steel chassis - not aluminum
Shielded wires on individual connectors for serviceability - no PCBs
XLR inputs and outputs
Remote power supply keeps power transformer interference away from modules
One year warranty
