Permanently accessible faders
The Cantar interface is the easiest to use under the most
technically demanding conditions:
• It offers the largest display surface of all portable
recorders, which simultaneously shows every critical re-
cording parameter.
• The custom designed high contrast displays remain view-
able under bright light (sun, sand, sea, snow, storm), and
at very low temperatures too.
• The swiveling front panel always provides the best view-
ing angle for both on cart and over the shoulder work.
• The large twelve position MainSelector eliminates diving
into numerous sub-menus.
• The unique three-crown turret gives instant access to
all recording and monitoring configurations, even while
wearing heavy winter gloves.
• Nine rotary faders (analog inputs) plus six linear faders
(mixdown), each entirely devoted to one specific task, are
faster to handle than multi-function knobs.
• An important consideration for those who work in
the desert or on the high seas, all of the mechanical actua-
tors (faders, sliders, buttons, selectors) are sandproof and
waterproof.
