As with all standard Cadac console designs, users can mix and match the S-Type's modules, moving them in the frame to suit a given requirement. Other standard facilities include full-size 100m Penny & Giles faders, plus the same high quality mic input as featured on the J-Type Live Production Console (providing 60dB of gain and a 20dB pad for line level inputs, phase reversal and 48V Phantom power), as well as the J-Type's full 4-band parametric EQ.
The S-Type is available as 17, 25 or 33-way frames, and can be expanded via optional bus connectors, enabling users to link a number of frames to configure a considerably larger mixer. The S-Type incorporates a fully balanced direct output with level control, eight switchable post- and pre-fade auxiliary sends - two of which are stereo - plus a custom-designed stereo input channel with line inputs, and comprehensive metering. Full range metering provides fast, clear access to level and routing information, with the input gain level displayed on a 12-segment LED meter mounted adjacent to the channel fader. The console offers a variety of input channel options,plus enhanced sub group routing with a selectable and dedicated stereo bus, plus the ability to pan the signal across this bus.
Cadac can be found on stand CC29 at PLASA.
