Amazing. KMR has them on their website as available in August and priced at £230. Just bought a 500-6B chassis, at that supernatural price I'll definitely buy two eqs and a compressor.

Hi Lindell,
I'm looking for a 500 eq stereo pair.
How do two pex-500 behave on 2buss?
Any phase shift issues?
Thanx.

Thanx. | They work great on 2-busses. Very smooth high end to open up mixes or drums.
Don't worry about phase shifts.... =)

So any updates on the release date / shipping date?
And maybe allow me to ask a completely different question... You own an amazing studio and what came to my mind was... do you use your own gear often and if you do, what kind of source material do you find it to work best with?

Yeah I use my own gear all the time. Especially on vocals, drum room and snare. The preamp is so fast and in your face, that everything else sounds mushy and brooken 
The eq is also very "invisible" and merges very well with the source, it never sounds eq'd or harsh.
The compressor on the other hand, I always "abuse" to get a heavy compressed sound with a lot of attitude....  | |

@ Lindell. Any plans for a 500 series lunchbox from you ?
At your prices it would sell like cupcakes and maybe even sell more of your 500 units (if that's gonna be possible).
Bra initiativ! lycka till.

The gist of it is that API promotes the VPR alliance as some kind of courtesy to consumers as a way of letting you know a 500 series module works within specs when in reality the truth is that if your company makes a lunchbox type 500 series power supply then API will refuse to grant your module a VPR alliance seal even if it passes all specs. In other words you can only get a VPR seal if your 500 series module passes all specs AND you don't make a product that competes with anything API sells. API might think it's fun to treat its customers like idiots and think they're stupid but I don't find it amusing.
If Lindell wants to paste that silly looking VPR alliance seal on his 500 series products that many people seem to think means something then it would be in his best interest to not make a 500 series lunchbox or 10 slot power supply.
Regards,
Frank

I think my Lunchbox Warranty said it was void if I used modules not in the VPR alliance thing. Not sure if that's the case with current ones being sold. Really i figure that'd end up hurting API 500 rack & LB sales. There are so many modules that folks want, that just aren't on there yet. Sorry, we're way off topic and I've just contributed to that.
On topic. I will be getting this comp first to try using for vocal tracking. Hooping it can do the 1176 thing well. Then build the JLM DIY LA3A 500 series comp. Try and do the LA3A/1176 in the vocal chain to attempt some classic vocals. Exciting!
The price is so right. I've been dabbling into DIY land over the last couple years. Partly as a way to learn something new & partly to save some bucks. These cost less than it would cost me to build them myself. No brainer.
Shipping starts soon still right?

Thanks!
I can hit that price point because we are mass producing them. That means we buy tens of thousands of components to get the maximum discount from the suppliers. We buy factory direct only.
Then we've outsourced the manufacturing/assembly to a HUGE factory that has a capacity to produce 500 units a week. All done here in Europe.
And if you look inside our 500 modules, you'll see that there's really not a lot in there. We've taken the "less is more" approach. High quality designs and high quality components.
Here is our new custom transformers by the way  
We're still looking at August release....

| Hear them, see them...Lindell Audio 500 in the ZenPro Clipalator
We now have the entire Lindell Audio 500 series (6X-500, 7X-500, PEX-500) featured in our Clipalator in full audio and video examples. Clipalator: Audio and Video | Studio Gear Shootouts @ ZenProAudio.com
There are HD videos on YouTube as well: ZenProAudio - YouTube
These units were built by Lindell for us using all of the current component choices so that you know with 100% certainty that what you are hearing is what arrives at our shores around August. I can tell you that the parts list of these units is nothing short of stellar, we cannot find a single instance of "oh he saved money there" on any of the units. Best of all, they sound awesome and are serious pieces of gear that rival tons of other stuff, regardless of their price.
I am not saying these are now shipping at the time of this writing, I am saying you get to hear and see them in action alongside everything else we've referenced in the Clipalator, in their final form.

API has told me personally that is not the case.
They will not approve a power supply is all.
If Lindell want to be in the VPR Alliance he can contact API or contact me and I will help him. And I think he knows that.
If the modals meet the specification then they would be approved.
