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 simultane-
ously shows every critical recording parameter. • The high
contrast displays remain viewable under bright light (sun,
sand, sea, snow, storm), and at 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 MainSelector eliminates diving into sub-
menus. • The three-crown turret gives instant access to all
recording and monitoring configurations while wearing
heavy winter gloves. • Nine rotary faders (analog in-
puts) plus six linear faders (mixdown) devoted to one spe-
cific task are faster to handle than multi-function knobs.
• For desert or high seas work, all of the mechanical
actuators are sandproof and waterproof.
