I just wanted to put in writting my appreciation for everything your company has done for me recently. The replacement for my 664 mixer arrived today and is working perfectly. Please pass on my thanks to Matt for his patience, expert help and the guidance he has provided despite me phoning, in a panic, from various locations around the world. Thanks to you all for going beyond the call of duty, the level of service has been absolutely fantastic!
The Cantar X3 is a versatile and robust multitrack recorder, featuring twelve analog XLR inputs, eight low noise mic preamps with very high quality transformers, four analog line inputs, and multiple AES digital inputs, including 2 AES42 pairs (mode 2), 8 AES/EBU and a Dante Audinate network access, along with 48V phantom power, limiters and filters.
** THIS PACKAGE NO LONGER SHIPS WITH BATTERIES AND A CHARGER **
The X3 chassis is made of machined avionic aluminium for a waterproof and dustproof housing. The ten track mixer plate has magnetic linear assignable faders, addressable to any input or output. All inputs and mixdown can be routed to any of the tracks and all tracks and inputs can be routed to eight analog auxiliary outputs and/or digital outputs. The internal 256 Gb SSD drive (expandable SSD size) handles recording and playback, with simultaneous recording to SD cards or USB external drive.
The ultra bright large swiveling display panel is visibility optimised for shoulder or cart work. Two large rotary control selectors allow easy recording and operations in any situation and a new and improved interface menu is accessible through the buttons and the jog wheel.
The Cantar X3 comes standard with WiFi connectability and can be used with a USB keyboard. It features a XLR4 DC 10-30 volts power input and two identical on-board quick release smart batteries, insuring seamless switchover during recording.
Cantarem2
The Cantarem2 is a USB control sur face for the CantarX3 and CantarMini mixer-recorder. It provides twelve additional faders and four assignable pads. Magnetic actuated faders are smooth, durable and dust and liquid resistant.
The CantarX3 or CantarMini does the configuration of the faders and push buttons.
