500 Series Outboard
When API created their 500 series range of audio processing modules, they fell upon a format which was to become the standard for those wanting to create their own portable and customisable rack processing systems.
Such has been the popularity of the API 500-series format, than numerous other manufacturers now produce their own module designs, which comply with the size format and power requirements of API's units. These third party modules can therefore easily be mixed and matched with other 500-series modules and combined together in one of several rack systems available. The most widely used rack housing / PSU for 500-series modules is API's own Lunchbox.
The Lunchbox provides the power supply and housing for up to six 500-series modules and has a convenient carrying handle mounted on the side for portability.
To assure end users of reliability and compatibility with third party modules, API created the VPR Alliance. The VPR Alliance has standards for third party manufacturers to follow. This has meant that the usual legal complexities of combining multiple manufacturer's products together (warranties etc.) have been overcome and customers can be confident that their 500-series modules will always work together.
Investing in 500-series products is the ultimate audio engineers "pick and mix". More modules come onto the market all the time and new ways of using the format are constantly being developed.
