Quickstart Guide
Note:
To reduce environmental waste, 500R8 does not ship with a USB cable to connect it
to a host device for recording/playback. To use 500R8 as a USB audio interface, you
will need to source a USB Type A to Type B cable - which is a common cable for
peripheral USB devices.
Rack Ear Orientations
There’s more to 500R8’s rack ears than meets the eye. 500R8’s rack ears can be repositioned in
3 ways to suit particular applications and offer greater protection during transport.
Standard - Standard rack ear configuration where the rack ears are mounted flush to
the front panel of 500R8.
Recessed - Protective rack ear configuration where 500R8 is set backwards into its rack
ears to protect front panel controls during travelling and location recording.
Handle - Portable rack ear configuration where 500R8’s rack ears are removed, placed
back-to-back, and attached to 500R8 as a convenient carry-handle for travelling.
Depending on your desired use case, you may need to reorientate the rack ears and position
the rubber feet to best suit your application by using the supplied 2.5mm allen key.
For more information regarding the rack ears and their possible orientations,
please read the full instructions in 500R8’s User Manual.
