Aaton Cantar X3

De nieuwe Aaton Cantar X3 -  24 track recorder heeft behalve het bijzondere uiterlijk ook een indrukwekkende lijst aan features. 48 inputs t.w. 8 mic/line inputs, 4 line inputs, 4 AES42 inputs (mode 2!), 8 digitale AES3 inputs, 24 Dante inputs; 40 analoge outputs t.w. 8 line level outputs, 12 AES outputs, 12 Dante outputs. De recorder heeft een complete 10ch.  input/track fader mixer aan boord.  Alle faders zijn magnetisch, d.w.z. zonder slijtage. De recorder kan onafhankelijk op 4 opname media opnemen t.w. interne SSD, 2x interne SD, 1x USB device naar keuze en een formaat naar keuze (monoBWF, PolyBWF, Mixdown, compressed of een combinatie etc.). Volledig open structuur om te back-uppen, te swappen etc.. Open en overzichtelijke manier van het maken van routings voor input en output (headphone etc.) met 26 presets op zowel in- als output-routing. 

Verder boordevol features zoals gigabit ethernet, 3x USB (keyboard/ext. media) , Wifi, BlueTooth, DVI, Power inputs en outputs, zeer nauwkeurige TimeCode, inputs delays, output delays, EQ, volledig sound report te maken in de recorder in PDF of ALE (CSV), opname tijdens weergave, clap detect opname, pre-recording, etc.,etc..
