Cadac exhibited a full range of analog and digital sound production consoles, from the custom, hand built J-Type to the complete CDC8 digital mix system at Prolight + Sound last week. Together with the CDC Four and LIVE1 compact designs, and the highly configurable S-Type analog series, the product range offers the Cadac sound quality across the full range of live and installation sound applications, the company says.

The company also held demonstrations, by appointment, of its CDC8 and CDC Four digital consoles. It exhibited 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 was shown with the new CDC I/O 3216 expansion rack.

The CDC Four digital and LIVE1 analog compact consoles, according to the company, offer sound quality, channel count, and performance at highly competitive price points. The S-Type is a large-format Cadac analog desk, exceptionally flexible and customizable, in terms of I/Os, channel strips, groups, VCAs, and frame sizes.
