These may be a little too artistic but it's what I had on the laptop at home. Currently we are working with; 4 CAPI VP26's 2 Merris 440's 3 Daking Pre's 1 Lindell 6X-500 2 Lindell 7X-500 2 Lindell PEX-500 2 DBX 520 De-essers 2 ART VLA500's Attachments:

They look pretty rad. Yea I really dig them. I have quite a few guitar pedals and the Merris pieces allow me to add pedals for mixing. Helps me find original sounds. I'm a big fan of Merris. |

Couple older pics, some FCS 502's and CAPI 526's in another rack with some prototype EmRR circuits. Attachments:

I like it. I used to track bass and vocals with it all the time. The amp circuit has a good sound on it's own.

We've got us a slow starter here. But for what it's worth, I track almost everything I do through these two CAPI VP312 modified preamps. Eventually I'd like to catch up with you guys.  |

Here's my two capi racks.... missing my new PICO 502's. Is it possible to get a bigger picture? Speaking of all things 500, what is the general consensus on what works in the voltage starved 500 format environment and what doesn't - honestly, please? |

Someone should tell all those classic API console owners like Steiger that their consoles are starving.... hehe +16 + -16 = 32 = > 24 I'm no electronics guru, but I've got no problems with 500 series modules - IF - they are designed properly, and - IF - the power supply is up to snuff. (Not all are created equal) My biggest problem with the 500 series is those racks keep filling up... :-) |

Speaking of all things 500, what is the general consensus on what works in the voltage starved 500 format environment and what doesn't - honestly, please? What? I see nothing wrong with the 500 series format. The vintage API consoles are based on bipolar 16V which is what the 500 series racks are. I really don't know where the term "voltage starved" would come from but I would call it a faulty source. A typical discrete opamp/output transformer based circuit will yield +28dBu of headroom on +/-16V. I think that is more than enough. Increasing the supply voltage will increase the headroom capabilities but I highly doubt +28dBu is a problem. |

Clearly API were designed for the 500 series and so are your CAPI units! |
