About 500 Series

500 Series modules are a great way to add analog processing to your signal chain, without breaking the bank or taking up too much space in your recording studio. Since they were introduced in the 1970s, 500 Series preamps have defined the sound of hit records and have been a secret weapon for recording engineers. 500 Series modules are a perfect fit for integration into your favorite DAW, with many mic preamps and modules offering the same sonic quality as their larger counterparts, but for a fraction of the price, and much less real estate in your rack.

The design started with API Audio, and since all their consoles were modular, you could easily swap out a mic preamp, EQ, or compressor if one were to need servicing. Manufacturers started to see how this could benefit multiple aspects of the recording industry, and in the 1980s, the 500 Series was born. Since then, 500 Series has become an industry standard and can be found in professional recording studios and home studios across the globe.

Shop for 500 Series by Brand

Vintage King carries 500 Series modules from all the top brands including API Audio, AMS Neve, Cranborne Audio, SSL, and more. Mix and match your favorite brands to create your own custom 500 Series channel strip or signal chain. Record vocals and guitar with legendary brands like the Neve 1073 mic preamp and API 550A EQ, all in a small 500 Series form factor. There are also countless stereo 500 Series modules like the SSL G-Comp bus compressor and the SPL BiG, which will be right at home on your mix bus or mastering chain.

500 Series FAQs

Which 500 Series modules should I choose?

Choosing 500 Series modules can be daunting because there are so many options on the market. When shopping for your next 500 Series module, ask yourself what your recording studio might need most. Many recording engineers fill their 500 Series lunchbox with vintage-style microphone preamps, compressors, and EQs to make a premium vocal chain that they can take with them to any session. On the other hand, many producers will pack their 500 Series rack with stereo processors and FX like the AMS RMX16 or a pair of Rupert Neve Designs 542 Tape Emulators to create fresh sounds that will add an extra sparkle to any mix.

Of course, if you want to learn more about filling your 500 Series rack, contact your Vintage King Sales Consultant at 888.653.1184

Are 500 Series modules expensive?

500 Series modules are one of the most cost-effective ways to build out your recording arsenal. Since 500 Series modules are physically smaller, they are often less expensive than their full-size rackmount counterparts. As a modular system, 500 Series modules can be purchased individually, so you can spread out your investment over time.

What are the benefits of 500 Series modules?

Recording engineers around the world have benefited from the 500 Series format. For starters, 500 Series modules are often more affordable than full-size rack units. Portability is also a big advantage of using 500 Series modules. Their smaller size means you can bring your favorite preamps, compressors, and EQs to every session, packing tons of recording power into one small space. Finally, 500 Series modules allow you to mix and match your favorite brands to create the perfect signal chain for your needs.
