The Nerve Center for Your 500 Series Modules!

Radial's Workhorse puts your 500 Series modules to work for you! Love the modular approach to signal processing you get from 500 Series modules? Then you'll really love the way the Workhorse housing system works. You can put up to eight modules in this 3U unit, and get great features such as phantom power per module slot, summing and direct out connections (via D-25 jacks), full 1/4" and XLR I/O, transformer-isolated 1/4" and XLR outputs, and much more. It's not just a home for 500 Series modules; the Workhorse makes a complete signal-processing nerve center!





Radial took a look at current frames and decided they could bring much more to the party. While made to be compatible with API formats, the Workhorse adds a ton of functionality to the 500 series format. You'll appreciate the flexible Omniport inputs, which greatly expand the versatility of your modules. Use the Workhorse's 25-pin D-sub connections to run straight to your PA system or DAW, for added convenience.

Don't worry about noise when you plug your modules into this housing. Radial's reputation for hum-killing, noise-crushing performance extends to the Workhorse. Built-in filtering technology means noise issues are scrubbed away at the source. The external power supply features a magnetic coupling between power supply transformer and the internal transformer, so your signal stays hum-free.

The Workhorse includes a master section, complete with master, monitor, and headphone outs. It gives you level and pan controls for each module. You even get an expansion bus, so you can combine multiple Workhorses for large recording setups. And, if you want to combine tracks before you send your signals out, the Workhorse can be used as an 8-channel summing box! If ever a product was perfectly named, this one's it.
