Classic Cadac Sound with Dual Channel Mic Pre-Amp
Cadac has introduced the ME2, a dual channel Mic Pre-Amplifier Mixer / EQ with analogue and digital I/O. The ME2 was shown for the first time in its final production form at Prolight + Sound.
One of several new product developments that exploit Cadac's unique analogue engineering heritage and advanced digital signal processing technologies, the ME2 is the first of a new range of outboard products making the classic Cadac sound available in 19 inch rack mount form. The ME2 offers sound engineers a highly affordable upgrade path for any live or location mixing set up, or music production suite.
The ME2 provides two independent audio paths, each with a dedicated hand tuned classic Cadac proprietary mic pre-amp (with +60dB gain) and 4-band fully parametric EQ. The audio path features fully balanced inserts - switchable pre- or post-EQ - in addition to balanced auto-compensating analogue outputs. An AES-3 digital output (switchable between 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz, 16-bit and 24-bit) and synchronisation via internal or external BNC word clock, enables direct connection to digital audio workstations, digital mixing consoles or recording devices - a feature unique on a mic pre-amp at this price point. Multiple ME2 units can be buss-linked to create a small format multi-channel console, with each audio path equipped with dedicated level/pan controls as well as mute and PFL.
Commenting on ME2 development, Cadac Holding Ltd. general manager, Bob Thomas, stated: "As with the LIVE1 budget console, the ME2 provide a feature set and level of performance that only Cadac can offer sound engineers in a product of this type at this price point. These products represent the culmination of over 40 years of industry leading engineering, combined with the latest digital signal processing developments. They are the result of a new product development strategy that will see Cadac firmly established as a leading supplier of mixing and processing systems in all areas of live and studio based production, bringing Cadac to a significantly wider audience in the future."
