500R8 is home to 8 of your favourite 500 series modules. It’s also a 28in/30out USB audio interface, monitor controller, and discrete analogue summing mixer.
Discrete Summing Mixer
Elevate your mix with analogue character and sum 8 USB sources through your 500 series modules and into the discrete analogue summing mixer to be summed and recorded back into your DAW as a stereo track.
THD+N:
<0.00032% (-110dB) @ -4dBFS, 20Hz – 40kHz, 1kHz, A-weighted
Clock Jitter:
<0.5 Picoseconds
No Modules? No Problem
Bypass unused 500 series slots using 500R8’s dedicated slot-bypass switch and you can use all of the available analogue paths for recording whilst you continue to build your 500 series collection.
More Summing Channels
Play back instrument groups/stems into all 16 available 500 series slots for summing using our C.A.S.T. link connector.
Expandable Via C.A.S.T.
Send/Receive Audio From C.A.S.T.
Simply connect N22 or N22H to 500R8 using shielded Cat 5e, Cat 6, or Cat 7 cable and mics/sources connected to the breakout are patched directly to the slot inputs of 500R8. At the same time, the monitor mix created on 500R8 (including talkback) is sent through the same cable, directly to the outputs of the connected breakout.
Fully Compatible With Microphones and 48v
If you have preamps installed into 500R8, C.A.S.T. can transport their 48v phantom through the C.A.S.T. connection via Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 7 and directly to condenser/active microphones connected at the end. C.A.S.T. is completely plug-and-play and works at distances up to 100m for maximum flexibility and convenience.
