500 series 8 slot rack with 8x2 summing mixerBulletproof design is backwards compatiblePlenty of current for power hungry modules
Dual output headphone buss for monitoring The Radial Workhorse is a modular rack and mixer that combines the popular 500 series platform with an incredibly flexible patching system to let you create the ultimate studio environment. Equipped to handle up to eight modules, the Workhorse lets you mix and match preamps, EQs and compressors and bring them all together in one rack. Individual modules may be accessed on the rear panel following the traditional API™ format or bussed to the built-in 8x2 summing mixer for left-right signal panning, level control and muting. Once mounted, a unique 'feed' functon lets you configure modules to feed one another in series to create the channel strip of your dreams! The master section features a traditional virtual ground mix buss combined with the superb sonic performance of Jensen Transformers on the main mix outs. A separate stereo monitor output provides playback, plus a super-loud dual-output headphone amp lets the engineer share the mix with the artist. Multiple Workhorses may be ganged together using the expansion buss to build 16, 24 or even 32 channel systems. Rear panel connectivity is extensive: Each channel is equipped with traditional XLR input and output. This is augmented with ¼" TRS jacks for balanced or unbalanced connectivity. A special Omniport™ jack delivers module-specific functionality that can range from an extra output, ducking input or effects insert depending on the module design. The Workhorse comes ProTools™-ready with 8-channel D-subs for the inputs and outputs plus third D-Sub gives you access to the built-in summing mixer for those that prefer the added warmth of analogue summing. Powering concerns are addressed with a unique 'pooled' supply that shares 1200 milliamps of current between the available 8 slots. This allows high current demand modules to exceed the usual limitations of other 500 series racks without the worry of brown outs. Plug and play easy to use, the Workhorse brings the fun, excitement and creative advantage of warm-sounding analogue to the modern digital studio. ***************** Aphex Project 500, full channel strip - 500 Series module

Full channel strip in a 500 Series module
Mic preampOptical compressorDual-band semi-parametric EQ 

The Project 500 is a full channel strip in a single 500 Series module. It features a mic preamp, an optical compressor, a 2-band, overlapping EQ. The Mic preamp and the optical compressor are taken directly from the TEC and PAR Award nominated . The EQ section is inspired by our popular  module. Project 500's microphone preamp provides up to 65dB of gain. The 3-color Signal LED shows the amount of input signal. This LED lights green for signal detected, yellow for a strong signal and red for overload. Lighted buttons are provided for phase reverse, 75Hz High Pass Filter and 48V phantom power. The optical compressor uses a proprietary optical element designed to be as fast as possible. A ratio knob is provided to control the amount of gain reduction, which can be adjusted from 2:1 up to 6:1. The compressor can also be turned on/off with the lighted Comp button. A gain reduction LED labeled GR will glow yellow when gain reduction is taking place – the more gain reduction, the brighter the LED will glow. The compressor can be placed before or after the EQ with the lighted Post button at the bottom left of the module. Aphex's Project 500 has two bands of semi-parametric EQ. The Lo Freq can be adjusted between 20Hz and 2kHz, while the Hi Freq can be adjusted between 200Hz and 20kHz. Both bands can be boosted or cut by up to 15dB. Both bands have a non-adjustable, medium bandwidth. A ¼”, 10Mohm instrument input is provided on the front panel, allowing the Project 500 to be used with guitars, basses and other high impedance instruments. This input overrides the module’s receiving frame XLR input, allowing the user to keep XLR cables inserted. Finally, the Output knob controls the overall output level of the module.
