Aaton Cantar X Location Hard disc recorder
AATON_CANTAR_X
  

Now available for hire from TFS - 8 Track Location recorder.

Discounts available for extended hire.

Aaton's legendary ergonomics applied to Digital Audio Recording. Our long commitment to operator comfort, equipment sturdiness, and highest possible performance gave birth to Cantar, the Stradivarius of new generation multi-track digital sound recorders. Cantar offers more than any other machine in terms of operational control: total separation between the fader panel for the hands and the display panel for the eyes.

With Cantar, the recordist has permanent access to real mechanical faders, each devoted to one function only. Five mic and four line rotary analog prefaders, plus six linear digital mixer postfaders! No other machine offers such luxury (some of them have only four all-purpose knobs...).
With Cantar's slanted working surface, the easily reachable faders are positioned in such a way that operator's hands rest on them in a perfectly natural position, whether Cantar is on the shoulder or the cart.
'Cantar Sound' has already become a reference among musicians: they have never seen such a small machine produce such a big sound.

  • Six channel digital audio recorder
    Nagra VI
    The NAGRA VI is delivered with a removable battery box containing a lithium-ion battery pack, a mains power supply and is equipped with a 120GB internal hard disk. It offers six independent analogue audio inputs. Inputs 1 - 4 are equipped with traditional NAGRA microphone pre-amplifiers for dynamic and phantom +48V microphones. These pre-amplifiers are a combination of those developed for the NAGRA V and NAGRA-D and are without doubt the best audio inputs NAGRA has ever designed. An audio limiter can be selected for each of these inputs and these can be ganged in pairs if desired. These totally new concept input circuits offer the best specifications ever produced by any NAGRA in terms of pure audio quality. The four "In-house" transformers offer fully floating inputs for the dynamic microphones, giving a greatly improved signal-to-noise ratio. The remaining two analogue inputs are LINE level inputs for connection to other equipment supplying a line level signal, such as radio receivers. When set to the LINE position all 6 analogue inputs will accept up to +24dB. The two input connections (channels 5 + 6) double up as 2 AES inputs (A and B) when selected to digital input mode.
