An Evolution of the 500 Chassis Focused on Hybrid Studio and Digital Integration

Within the 500 series universe, the OST-8 ADAT positions itself as a modern production chassis, designed to meet current setups where analog and digital coexist. Whereas a classic 500 chassis is limited to power supply and analog routing, this version emphasizes studio integration by adding an 8-channel AD conversion and ADAT (SMUX) outputs. The result: you can build a complete 500 chain and easily send it to a digital audio workstation, multitrack recorder, or digital console, while maintaining careful power management slot by slot.

Intended Uses and Target Profiles

This chassis is aimed at sound engineers, producers, and recording studios who want to multiply analog processing without complicating cabling, especially in evolving home studio or professional studio contexts. It is also well suited for mobile setups (vocal rack, drums, synths) thanks to its 3U format and external power supply unit. If you work with an interface equipped with ADAT inputs, the OST-8 ADAT becomes a practical gateway: your 500 modules can form a complete recording front end, with a clean and synchronizable digital output.

Questions frequently asked

How many 500 modules can the Heritage Audio OST-8 ADAT accommodate?

This chassis has 8 slots in the 500 format, with 400 mA power supply assigned to each slot.

How to connect this 500 chassis to an audio interface via ADAT?

The built-in A/D conversion transmits 8 channels in 24-bit / 192 kHz via 2 ADAT outputs compatible with SMUX. An interface or recording system with ADAT inputs can thus receive the signals from the installed modules.

Can channels be linked without patch cables?

The Link function connects each channel to the next via a push-button. A chain of preamp, equalizer, and compressor can thus be set up without additional front-panel wiring.

Is there Wordclock synchronization on this 500 rack?

A Wordclock input and output on BNC allow integration into a synchronized digital setup. This connection ensures clock locking with other studio devices.

What are the dimensions and power supply provided?

The 3U format measures 482 x 134 x 200 mm and weighs 4.7 kg. An external power supply unit is included. Phantom power is available for microphones, with a total limit of 140 mA.
