simply the best CADAC is renowned world-wide for their state-of-the-art theatre consoles. The
CADAC sound and build quality, along with extensive features and automation has
made the company a household name in the theatres in London’s West End, Broad-
way in New York and most major theatres throughout the world. Manufacturing argu-
ably the best mixing consoles in the world, however, also comes at a price.
for Rock’n’Roll For a long time, the traditional “rock’n’roll” touring sound and hire companies and en-
gineers have been asking for the same quality at an affordable price, with specifica-
tions and features more suited to general live performances. We have now taken the
best parts of the CADAC ethos and designed them into a new console dedicated to
the live touring, conference and event industry.
this is what they asked for... The R-Type development from a very early stage took into account the needs and re-
quirements of this industry, with useful ideas and feed-back from the world’s top sound
companies. 24 slot lightweight mono-coque frames can be loaded with input or output
modules in any order or configuration allowing for maximum flexibility when configur-
ing for a show or a tour. The smaller module size and overall weight of the frames al-
lows easily for a smaller crew set up and also with intelligent flight case design takes
up less truck space.
and more... Add to this the knobs and switches part of the design. In brief, any number of mono
or stereo input modules, a maximum of 32 aux or (16) group outputs, and a 16 output
matrix. 16 mute group and 16 DC masters, plus an on-board 128 scene automation
snapshot/scene memory, plus the classic CADAC sound, reliability and performance.
All this together makes us believe that, in designing the R-Type, we have now made
the ultimate touring console.
