Compatibility

The xpressor 500 is a module to be installed into an API 500 se-

ries compatible rack frame (not included). It needs the power 

supply and the audio connectors provided by this frame and 

does not function stand alone.

The current consumption is 125 milliamperes at +/- 16 volts 

DC. This is actually more than many other 500 series modules 

consume as a result of the discrete class-A design of the xpres-

sor 500’s audio path.

Most  API  500  compatible  racks  will  meet  this  requirement 

without  problems,  but  there  might  be  a  limitation  of  how 

many units can be installed in a single rack. In case of doubt 

please check with the manufacturer of your specific rack.

Installation

Just follow these easy steps to install the xpressor 500 module:
1.  Switch your API 500 series compatible rack off and discon-

nect the power cable from mains.

2.  Insert the module into two free slots of your rack. Make sure 

both PCB connectors match with the rack connectors.

3.  Gently push the module in place - do not use any extensive 

force here!

4.  Tighten the front panel with four screws provided by your 

rack manufacturer.

5.  Connect your XLR audio cables (see page 6 for more info) 

and apply power to your rack.

And this is already it. Have lots of fun with your xpressor 500!
