Stereo Sidechain Link for odd/even pairs
For 500-series modules that support the ability to link sidechains across
odd/even module slots, every odd numbered rack slot has a jumper on the
rack’s backplane that can be moved from position ‘A’ (Not Linked), to position
‘B’ (Linked Sidechain).
NOTE. To gain access to these links, you will need to remove the
module (and any adjacent ones that make changing this awkward).
Please ensure that the POWER TO THE CONSOLE IS OFF.
Slots 17-18
The final two slots are reserved for the legendary SSL Bus Compressor. These slots can only be inserted over the Mix A
stereo bus by pressing the
COMP button in the Mix A master controls section.
Don’t forget that this is just a standard two-slot 500 rack space, so you can remove the Bus Compressor and use it
anywhere else in the rack if desired or use a different 500-module in place of the Bus Compressor!
Using the 500-series Rack With or Without a Patchbay
The rear panel of XL-Desk allows access to the inputs and outputs of the 500-series rack. These D-Subs are labelled: 500
SLOT IN 1-8 , 500 SLOT IN 9-16 , 500 SLOT OUT 1-8 and 500 SLOT OUT 9-16 .
If using XL-Desk without an external patchbay, it is necessary to use the 4 included short D-Sub cables (shipped with XL-
Desk) to link connections on the rear.
Refer to the additional information on page 7.
For ultimate flexibility, remove the short D-Sub patch cables and link those connectors discretely to a patchbay. This will
allow routing to be made between modules, so that more than one 500 processor slot can be used on a single channel.

The thing to remember is that the 500 button is, in reality, a second insert point which can route the signal
out of and back into the channel. By connecting the short D-Sub patch cables, as described on page 7, the
signal is routed into the associated 500-series rack slot and back again – e.g. Channel 1’s 500 button
inserts Slot 1 from the 500 rack.
