C300 HD is the perfect nerve centre for commercial dubbing and post facilities. It combines the unrivalled audio fidelity and processing of an SSL digital audio console, comprehensive multi format monitoring, multi system machine control and a highly evolved hardware surface that seamlessly integrates hands-on control of the consoles internal audio path and multiple digital audio workstations.
With unrivalled DSP flexibility, C300 HD offers over 500 mix inputs, 80 mix busses and true multi-operator capability from a single processing core. C300 HD is a truly integrated control and processing solution that will make your facility more efficient. C300 HD delivers significant time savings in the critical mixing stage of a project, offering increased workflow and true cost efficiency, particularly when compared to the compromised quality and throughput imposed by semi-pro audio editing equipment, which cannot provide the nonlinear multi-input automation, superior sonics, and integration advantages of a professional solution.
C300 HD elegantly combines crucial elements of the mixing process in the console itself. This ‘Master Studio System’ concept saves the studio time and money, removing the laborious and costly process of buying and attempting to integrate suitable mix automation, control surface, machine control and monitoring systems. Providing simultaneous processing and mixing inside the console and multiple DAW control, C300 HD offers the best of both worlds.
C300 HD’s modular construction offers configurations suitable for use in independent facilities, right through to major film sound stages. Consisting of two parts, the C300 HD console provides the user interface while the compact Centuri core contains SSL’s proprietary industrial computer and the modular DSP with I/O cards in a single chassis.
