Aaton Cantar Mini

Description

Aaton Cantar Mini is a 16-track portable digital audio recorder with embedded 10 channel mixer plate.

The Cantar Mini is based on the renowned Cantar X3 but retains the full sound quality. It uses the same pre-amps, components and design/manufacturing quality as the Cantar X3 but with 16 tracks instead of 24, a reduced number of inputs and outputs, resulting in a considerably smaller size and a more lightweight unit. Most of the software also comes across from the well developed Cantar X3 software. Like the X3, the Mini also has the indispensable tilting display, it uses the same batteries, and is compatible with the Cantarem 2 control panel and Cantaress mixing surface.
