The M16 from Cadac, the renowned theatre console maker, is a 16-channel remote controlled mic pre-amp. It sounds similar to the new D-Tube from DiGiCo, however it is quite a different beast. The unit is based on the J type and can be remote accessed from up to 500ft, and a maximum of 32 units can be linked off a single controller. Also shown for the first time the D16 'virtual' 16-channel mixer - a mixer that runs in software only and is intended for use as an extender for any existing Cadac desk offering compressor, gates, delay and four-band EQ on all channels, making it ideal for controlling peripheral speakers in a highly distributed theatre installation.
