FRANKFURT, Germany – Cadac showed its S-Digital theater and live production console system in final production form at Prolight + Sound, promising that it will be Cadac's most significant product development since the launch of the J-type in 1992.
Designed from the ground up for the theatre and live sound markets, the S-Digital promises a new combination of audio character, tools, features and surface architecture. Features include hot swappable input and output modules, embedded signal processing and backups on power supplies, inter-system communications, audio path and control.
"From its conception, the S-Digital was engineered, in conjunction with practicing sound
engineers, with the express intention of replicating the surface architecture and audio quality of the Cadac J-Type, extending functionality and providing an entirely new level of control," said Peter H. McGuire, operations manager of Cadac Holdings Ltd.
With integrated processing, the console also promises to eliminate the need for some of the external gear that needs to be stowed under the console, contributing to a smaller system footprint, McGuire noted.
Cadac said the S-Digital has attracted a number of pre-orders, and the first of these have already been commissioned. At ProLight + Sound, two production consoles were featured at the Cadac stand, which also featured the Ronnie Lane Mobile Studio Airstream caravan parked on the stand, providing "live" mixing demonstrations.
