LAS VEGAS, NV – Solid State Logic is pleased to introduce the new, extremely compact 16 fader version of the no-compromise C10 HD Digital Broadcast Console at NAB 2010 (Booth C3313) in the new Pro Audio Hall located in the Central Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The new compact version of the successful C10 HD further reduces the console footprint and price point to appeal to space and budget restricted installations, while delivering all the advanced capabilities and sound quality of the larger C10 HD.
“The new Compact C10 HD offers the end user a stunning array of advanced features in an efficient 34-inch wide design that further delivers the SSL standard to every broadcast situation at a highly competitive price,” says Piers Plaskitt, CEO of SSL, Inc. “We designed the new mini C10 to go where no broadcast console could go before, while still providing the functionality and sound quality expected from an SSL product.”
The C10 HD is truly the SSL broadcast console for broadcasters of all sizes, providing a self-contained console with no additional processing racks and passive cooling that is ideal for any smaller, quiet space. The C10 HD delivers the superior audio quality, powerful processing tools and advanced ergonomics expected from every SSL console and offers many options to solve the production and workflow challenges of smaller broadcasters upgrading their facilities for HD content production. Several options include a ‘Broadcast Production Automation’ option that provides support for Ross and Sony production automation systems, a ‘5.1 Upmix’ option that generates multichannel surround output from stereo sources and a ‘Dialogue Automix’ option that ensures reliable, multi-mic talk show audio level management. SSL’s ‘DAW Control’ option enables post production mixing during studio dark periods for increased studio productivity.
