Visually the most striking feature of the CDC six is the optically bonded 23.5 inch 16:9 high definition LCD touch screen with digital encoders to the bottom and the right of the screen. The screen displays the clean, exceptionally intuitive graphical user interface and this unique combination of touch screen and traditional encoders for additional control of the features on the console, naturally leads to an instinctive use of touch and swipe. The faders follow the swipe of the screen or scrolling of the channels, ensuring full control at all time of any combination of inputs, outputs or VCAs displayed on the screen. First time users will have a minimal learning curve as they soon find themselves navigating the features by using gestures similar to those for navigating a tablet or smart phone - all without the need for intensive formal training. The combination of an exceptional user interface, legendary Cadac mic-pre’s, state-of-the art DSP and FPGA processing technology, with incredibly low latency, makes the CDC six a unique proposition for those who do not want to be faced with either audio or creative compromises.
