Compatibility
The nvelope 500 module requires installation into an API 500 series com-
patible rack frame (not included). It needs the power supply and the au-
dio connectors provided by this frame, and cannot be used for its in-
tended purpose by itself.
The current consumption is 200 milliamperes (100 mA per slot) at +/- 16
volts DC. This is actually more than some other 500 series modules con-
sume as a result of the discrete class-A design of the nvelope 500's audio
path.
Most API 500 compatible racks meet this requirement without problems,
but there might be a limit on how many units can be installed in a single
rack. In case of doubt, please check with the manufacturer of your spe-
cific rack.
Installation
Just follow these easy steps to install the nvelope 500 module:
1. Switch your API 500 series compatible rack off and disconnect 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 excessive force!
4. Tighten the front panel with four screws provided by your rack manu-
facturer.
5. Connect your XLR audio cables (see page 6 for more info) and power
up your rack.
That should do it. Have lots of fun with your nvelope 500!
