Manufacturer's Description from A Designs

The A-Designs Audio 500HR is a dual slot, 1U space, rackmountable 500-series power supply and frame. It has balanced XLR input and output for 2 mono channels, and can supply +48V phantom power. Along with compatibility for all A-Designs Audio modules, the 500HR is fully compatible with API modules as well*.

HR-500 Applications:

The 500HR can be used with various A-Designs modules to give you different types of functionality. Loaded with two preamps it becomes a dual-channel microphone preamp; with two EM-PEQs, it’s a dual-channel, Pultec-style equalizer; and with one preamp and one EQ it is a complete pre/post EQ recording channel. Plus, using the preamp and EM-PEQ configuration, you can bypass the preamp on your guitar/bass/keyboard amplifier to give you a totally different amp for live performance.

* The EM-PEQ is an approved API™ VPR Alliance product and may also be used in Brent Averill Enterprises racks, and the 2-bay A-Designs Audio’s 500 HR power supply/rack. The EM-PEQ requires 48V to operate. Please check your power rack for this feature before purchasing an EM-PEQ.
