PANDORA accommodates up to 16 500-series modules (2U, API-compatible slots), provides a built-in signal routing matrix between slots, analog summing outputs, stereo module linking functions, and USB communication with the DAW to control the entire rack as a single device. A dedicated platform for the Wes Audio ng500 ecosystem — third-party 500-series modules from other manufacturers can operate in PANDORA, but the advanced routing and digital integration features are exclusive to ng500 modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eBuilt-in routing and analog summing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe key distinction between PANDORA and a standard 500-series enclosure is the built-in signal routing matrix: the output of any slot can be directed to the input of any other slot inside the enclosure — without external cables, without a patchbay, without additional I\/O on the rear panel. This allows building complex signal chains (preamp → EQ → compressor → EQ) entirely through software configuration or the PANDORA controller. Built-in analog summing handles the creation of stereo buses from mono modules: two NG76 or NGBusComp modules paired as a stereo unit through PANDORA's internal routing operate as a single stereo compressor without external stereo link cabling. Summing outputs and per-slot outputs are available on the rear panel as standard XLR connectors. Module power is supplied by an internal high-efficiency power supply with low RF emission — purpose-built for audio applications with sensitive electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDAW integration and whole-rack control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003ePANDORA communicates with the DAW via USB as a single device: the PANDORA VST\/AU plug-ins allow control of all ng500 modules installed in the rack from a single plug-in interface, with automation and recall per module and per parameter (16-bit). Internal routing configuration (which slots are chained and which are linked as stereo pairs) is saved as a preset and recalled automatically when a DAW session is opened. Output level control, stereo module linking configuration, and per-slot level monitoring are all accessible from software without touching the rear panel. PANDORA displays the status of all ng500 modules (active\/bypass, GR levels, preset) on a built-in display or through computer software. The enclosure is available in 8-slot and 16-slot configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIntelligent 500-series enclosure with built-in routing, summing, and digital integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e8 or 16 500-series slots (API-compatible, 2U)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in inter-slot signal routing matrix — no external cabling required\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSoftware-configurable signal chains (preamp → EQ → compressor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in analog summing — stereo pairs from mono modules without link cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eUSB DAW communication — entire rack controlled as a single VST\/AU device\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePer-module, per-parameter automation and recall (16-bit) via DAW\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRouting configuration saved and recalled as DAW session presets\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePer-slot level monitoring and module status from software\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in display: module status, GR, presets\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInternal high-efficiency power supply with low RF emission\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFull compatibility with Wes Audio ng500 modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCompatible with third-party 500-series modules (API standard — power and I\/O only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePer-slot outputs and summing outputs on rear panel (XLR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eConfigurations: 8 or 16 slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eType: intelligent 500-series enclosure with routing, summing, and digital integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSlots: 8 or 16 (500-series API-standard, 2U)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRouting: built-in inter-slot signal matrix (software-configurable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSumming: internal analog, stereo pair creation from mono modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDAW interface: USB, VST\/AU — all ng500 modules controlled from single plug-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAutomation: 16-bit per parameter per module\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOutputs: per-slot XLR + summing outputs XLR (rear panel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDisplay: built-in (module status, GR, presets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower: internal high-efficiency supply, low RF emission\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eng500 compatibility: full (routing, automation, recall)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAPI 500-series compatibility: power and I\/O (routing and automation: ng500 modules only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFormat: 2U rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WesAudio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53769652502865,"sku":"54815","price":1236.94,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/WesAudioPANDORA1.jpg?v=1778757934","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de-fr\/products\/wes-audio-pandora","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
