Revision 1 2012-13 CDC FOUR
Stagebox options
The CDC FOUR is designed to integrate immediately with existing analogue live
sound installations, and may be used stand-alone, with a conventional stagebox
and snake.
If more than 16 mic/line channels are required, a CDC-RACK can be added. This
is a remote stagebox with integral, remotely-controllable analogue mic pre-amps
of the same high-quality design as those in the CDC FOUR. It uses a proprietary
multichannel digital protocol developed by CADAC to connect to the mixer, and
two coaxial cables replace a conventional snake.
The CDC-RACK is a 19” rack-mounting unit which can be fitted with either 16
inputs and 8 outputs, or 32 inputs and 16 outputs. The additional input channels
are available to the user using control surface layers (see ”Layers” on page
23). In the case of the 8-output version, the stagebox output connectors can
be assigned to any eight of the CDC FOUR’s various outputs.
