The company also ran demonstrations of its CDC8 and CDC Four digital consoles. It showed the extended CDC8 mix system, comprising the CDC8-32 and ultra-compact CDC8-16 frame size consoles, the CDC8-16S expansion sidecar and 32/16 and 64/48 I/O stage racks featuring Cadac's proprietary, high speed MEGACOMMS network protocol. The CDC8-16 is a 16 fader, single touch-screen control surface variant with an ultra-compact footprint but identical 128 channel I/O configuration, functionality and processing power to the 32 channel model. The CDC8-16S offers an additional 16 faders and touch-screen control surface, connectable with a single Ethernet cable. The CDC Four is being shown with the new CDC I/O 3216 expansion rack.
The CDC Four digital and LIVE1 analogue compact consoles offer a combination of sound quality, channel count and performance at highly competitive price points. The S-Type is a classic large format Cadac analogue desk, exceptionally flexible and customisable, in terms of I/Os, channel strips, groups, VCAs and frame sizes. The J-Type represents the pinnacle of the company's analogue console development and the engineering heritage shared by all consoles that bear the mix Cadac marquee, says the company.
