WEST HILLS, California - July 2007 -- A-Designs Audio announces the availability of its 500HR, a single-rack-space, dual-slot power supply designed to accommodate two processing modules conforming to the API(tm) 500 Series format, including A-Designs Audio's own popular P-1 and EM-Series microphone preamps and new EM-PEQ equalizer. "With more and more engineers tracking and mixing in smaller home and project studios, as well as taking 'their sound' from one studio to another, the demand for gear that is compact, easily portable, flexible and economically priced is higher than ever," says A-Designs Audio's Peter Montessi. "Our 500HR, which weighs only six pounds when empty and features a street price of less than $300, nicely fits the bill by allowing engineers to create a very portable yet versatile channel strip (mic preamp plus EQ) or stereo mic preamp by simply swapping out modules for different recording situations." Sporting a cream-colored faceplate, the 500HR is housed in an all-metal chassis for maximum durability. Both a rocker-style on/off switch and 48V phantom power LED can be found on the right side of the front panel, while the rear panel features two sets of XLR ins and outs in addition to a standard IEC power connector for the unit's robust power supply. Montessi further points out that the potential applications for the product are practically limitless. "While the 500HR was under development, all sorts of other uses for it came to mind," he adds. "For example, when combined with an A/D converter, the device can make an excellent choice for mobile recordings for broadcast. Also, with so many people doing voiceovers for TV and film, plus vocal production work for audio books and radio, the 500HR combined with the right modules and a laptop is again a perfect solution for those markets as well. And, of course, many discerning live sound engineers will be pleased to see that they can now put a pair of studio-grade processing modules into a 1U rack." Easy on the pocketbook, the new 500HR features an attractive MAP of only $299.00 ($335.00 U.S. retail). |
