Cadac will be exhibiting a pair of CDC six consoles at the show, along with Cadac's MegaCOMMS networking products, including the CDC MC Router, the CDC MC MADI audio network bridge and the new Version 2 CDC MC Dante MegaCOMMS bridge.
The CDC six is based around a further development of Cadac's advanced, highly acclaimed gesture-operation user interface. With the same superlative audio performance and incredible low latency of the CDC eight, the CDC six represents a major ergonomic advance in user operation. The traditional fixed physical controls have been replaced by an intuitive "high agility" user interface, accessed via a 16:9 23.5 inch optically bonded touch screen, resulting in a fast, logical workflow without the compromises dictated by hardware-centric designs.
The CDC six features 64 input channels, 48 assignable busses (as Group, Stereo Group, Aux, Stereo Aux or Matrix plus LCR, Monitors and Talkback) and 20 touch sensitive motorized faders, Both the CDC six and flagship CDC eight are preconfigured with an integrated 64 x 64 Waves card for direct multitrack recording to a laptop and connection to any Waves MultiRack SoundGrid server. Superb audio performance is provided as standard, thanks to the CDC six's legendary Cadac mic pre amps, and incredible sub 0.4 millisecond latency from analogue inputs on stage, through the CDC six's processing, to analogue outputs on stage.
Commenting on the most significant aspects of the CDC six from a user's perspective, Cadac brand manager, Richard Ferriday, states, "The combination of an exceptionally fast and intuitive user interface, legendary CADAC mic-pre's, state-of-the art DSP and FPGA processing technology, with incredibly low latency, make the CDC six a uniquely compelling proposition for those who do not want to be faced with either audio or creative compromises.
"CDC six defies the paradigm that a console of this level of performance demands complex operation."
