Cadac launched its new M16, a 16-channel remote mic amplifier. Controlled remotely through an RM16 via Cadac's SAM software, each mic channel has an active three-way splitter and in-built high pass filter. Also new, the D16 is a 16x16 digital mix matrix with dynamic control; four-band EQ (giving a digital reproduction of the 'J' type sound), high and low pass filters, compression and gates, plus adjustable level routing to 16 output mixes (Pre EQ, Post EQ, or Post fader). This will apparently form the core of a digital mixing console from Cadac next year.
