This Lunch Box-8 features everything that made the API 6-slot chassis (500-6B) so successful, such as DB-25 D-Sub connectivity for easy I/O and cabling, phantom power for condenser microphones and a rubber carrying handle, which you can exchange for an optional rack mounting kit (which you can get here at Sonovente) for a fixed installation.

The API 500-8B comes with an internal 48 volt phantom power supply connected to pin #15 for the use of API 512c preamps.
