What is 500 Series Outboard Gear?
The 500 series, also known as "lunchbox" format, refers to a standardised modular system for audio processing equipment commonly used in professional recording studios. It consists of a rack enclosure that accommodates multiple individual modules, each designed to perform specific audio processing functions such as preamps, equalizers, compressors, and effects. These modules can be mixed and matched within the rack to create custom signal chains tailored to the needs of the recording or mixing session. The 500 series format offers flexibility, compactness, and interoperability, making it a popular choice among audio engineers for building versatile and high-quality signal processing setups.
