INTRODUCTION
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Thank you for choosing the 500 Series Rack OST-10 v2.0. Heritage Audio is dedicated to bringing you ´the sound of
yesterday for tomorrow´. We specialize in capturing that unique, enticing sound that everybody has fallen in love with.
For years engineers, producers and musicians have been yearning for that classic vibe. Usually the only option is to
search for old, used original equipment that is almost always in a questionable state of operation. This brings with it a
whole lot of other issues, making the experience less than desirable. Not to mention the very high prices asked for this
equipment, which makes them virtually unobtainable for the great majority. Now it´s possible to obtain that same sound
with a brand new piece that will give you all the problem-free, heavy-duty use you´ll need for years of music making
history.

DESCRIPTION

The OST-10 V2.0 500 series enclosure is designed for racking any and all 500-series modules and devices, including
‘double wide’ modules and even the most demanding class-A and vacuum tube designs.!
The OST-10 V2.0 enclosure features Heritage Audio’s On Slot Technology, providing maximum protection, filtering, and
isolation to each channel. While most 500-series enclosures on the market have a relatively simple power supply design
essentially feeding every channel in parallel, each channel of the OST-10 V2.0 enclosure has its own power supply,
individually regulated and isolated from the rest.
This ensures that every 500-series module installed will perform at its peak potential, and that no ‘ power hungry’ or
even a faulty module will compromise the performance of another. In addition to reducing interference, many 500-series
devices actually exhibit lower self-noise and better performance when racked in the OST-10 V2.0 enclosure, specially
mic preamps.
A new and exciting feature in the V2.0 model is the Link feature, allowing each channel to be linked over to the next at
the push of a button (on back panel), no patch cables required!!
As with all Heritage Audio products; the 500 Series OST-10 V2.0 enclosures are built utilizing the most cutting edge
methods in manufacturing and design, without ever compromising audio quality or cutting corners — all at the Heritage
Audio headquarters in Spain.
The 500 format is here to stay, be set up for it!!
With the popularity of 500 Series modules showing no signs of waning, it makes more sense than ever for both
professional and home studios alike to have plenty of slots available to house their growing collection of new and old
500 Series toys.
Don’t just house your 500 series modules, bring out the
best in them!
While a 500 Series enclosure may not seem like the most exciting thing in the studio, you’ve got to have them. It only
makes sense to get one that is durable, not overpriced, compatible with any 500 Series module you may have, and most
importantly, one that will bring out the cleanest and very best performance in your gear. With the OST-10 V2.0, you have
a perfect solution for housing 500 Series modules in an enclosure which brings out the best of their sonic potential, in a
portable, rugged enclosure that won’t break the bank.
Safer, cleaner, more compatible!
Many experienced engineers are aware of certain ‘power hungry’ class A or vacuum tube based modules which could
cause banks of 500 Series modules to ‘brown out’ or not function, or that simply would not work in some standard
enclosures. The OST-10 V2.0 offers the widest range of compatibility with all 500 Series modules, ensuring both that
‘demanding’ modules receive the power they need, and that adjacent modules remain unaffected. Your 500 Series
modules have simply never had it so good!
Each slot features test LEDs to verify the correct operation of the power supply (red for +16 V, green for -16 V) as well
as +48 V, located on the front panel.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEMS
SOLUTIONS
There doesn´t seem to be any power feeding the OST-10
v2.0.
Make sure the HA-PSU02 has been connected.
No audio seems to be getting to the modules.
Double check that you have correctly connected the
Inputs and Outputs for the slot.
There is no signal present at the slot´s Output.
Check to see if the LINK button has been pushed sending
the output to the adjacent slot´s Input instead. If so, push
again to return to the ´IND´, individual status for that slot.
There is no signal present at the slot´s Input.
Check to see if the LINK button has been pushed on the
slot before, which would send that slot´s output to this slot
´s Input instead of the desired signal. If so, push the
button again to return to the ´IND´, individual status for
that slot.
Trying to use several adjacent 500 series modules with
just one set of Input and output cables.
Make sure you have inputted into the first slot and
activated its ´LINK´ button to internally direct the signal to
the next slot. Also, push ´LINK´ button for any other
modules used. Take the signal from the last slot´s Output
connector making sure that slot´s ´LINK´ is not pushed.
