The C-Type features CADAC’s unique frame design which allow users to put any
module in any position, thus configuring the console to suit the project in hand. Each
module is fitted with XLR connectors and jack sockets on the rear vertical face,
enabling the module to be moved quickly and easily.
The C-Type module’s design features a motherboard, with plug-in daughter boards
for all audio and digital control functions. This ensures servicing simplicity and fast
replacement of any faulty component. Each module may be plugged into any posi-
tion in the console frame, by means of top quality two-part connector system, which
is designed as a mating pair to provide excellent mechanical and electrical reliability.
A rail system is used to guide each module into its correct position. Also, the console
design allows modules to be removed or inserted without powering down.
