SSL launches new C300 digital console at IBC 2005

Solid State Logic has unveiled a new-generation digital console designed for the full spectrum of film and post-production applications.
The C300 is a compact, assignable console, for fast and efficient sweetening and mix creation. The requirements of non-linear film and TV production are fully addressed by the C300 Digital Console, delivering the ultimate in operational efficiency in a cost-effective, scalable solution.
"Working closely with broadcast facilities as part of the development of our C-Series family of consoles, we were increasingly made aware that desktop systems don‚t solve all of the audio challenges for commercial post production," said Niall Feldman, SSL‚s Director of Product Marketing. "For efficient workflow the missing elements are tactile, physical controls, powerful multi-tasking automation and better audio performance than workstation processing can deliver. SSL's new C 300 console is specifically designed to address these issues, with a single system that has integrated workstation control, renowned automation and acclaimed signal processing quality."
The C300 Master Studio System integrates DAW control using techniques successfully pioneered with the AWS 900 console. This brings the workstation into the console allowing unparalleled interaction between console and DAW. Automation developed from the C200 console provides complete real and non-real time control over the console‚s powerful signal processing. This allows operators to slow down fast moves to a more manageable pace, or even set-up whole scenes with the press of a locate key. This saves massive amounts of time and yet also delivers the subtle control required to satisfy the most demanding producers or directors.
The C300 completes a family of digital production consoles with its sister C100 and C200 models. This family of products encompass a wide range of audio broadcast production solutions, e.g. on-air, live-to-tape and post production. All of these products scale to handle the largest productions and can be configured to fit tight budgets.
