500 Series Compatibility
The P501 Audio Processor is intended for use within an API™ 500
Series compatible rack frame from which is takes its power and audio
connections. It cannot function as a stand-a-lone unit. Information
about the API™ 500 Series rack frames can be found at
www.apiaudio.com.
As the microphone input stage in the P501 has the capability to
switch phantom power, please ensure you choose a rack frame
which includes +48V phantom power as this is not generated within
the P501.

Installation
The P501 is supplied in a foam lined shipping carton and should
arrive with you in perfect condition but it is always worth checking the
unit for any signs of physical damage before use. Should you have a
concern that the unit appears damaged then contact your dealer.
Ensure that your 500 Series compatible rack frame is powered off
before inserting the P501 module. Select a spare slot and remove
the module mounting screws at that slot location. Slide the P501
module into the slot ensuring that the gold plated edge connector on
the P501 aligns with the corresponding connector in the rack frame.
Now gently push home the module until the front panel is flush with
the rack frame. Use the two screws supplied with the rack frame to
secure the module. Never use excessive force when inserting a
module into the frame, so if you are struggling to get the module to
insert, recheck the alignment and try again. Avoid touching the gold
plated edge connector as you could tarnish the connects and reduce
the reliability of the audio connection between the module and the
rack frame.
Turn on the rack frame power, connect audio and check through the
functionality of the P501 module according to the guidance in this
manual.
