API 500-8b Lunch Box
The new 8-slot lunchbox API 500-8B includes all the features that made the 6-slot lunchbox (500-6B) so popular in the industry, including DB-25 (D-Sub) connectors for easy I/O, universal power supply (100 or 250V, 47 to 63Hz), phantom power, and easy rack mounting with optional rack ear kit. Built for rugged performance, with new channel link toggle switches.
The lunchbox gives an engineer the flexibility to bring specialized EQ effects to any situation: 550A, 550b or 560. The lunch box uses an external power supply. API makes several modules for the lunch box, 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 a vocal box (one 512c, two EQs and one 527).
