Solid

State
Logic, the manufacturer of
analogue and digital audio consoles and provider of creative tools for film,
audio, video and broadcast professionals, is pleased to unveil the upgraded C300
HD Master Studio System.

Solid

State Logic will exhibit
its entire C Series product portfolio at IBC 2007, Sept 7-11 at the Amsterdam
RAI (booth #N472 in Hall 8).

Designed
for the full spectrum of film and post-production applications, the C300 HD
Master Studio System is a compact, assignable console for fast and efficient
sweetening and mix creation. The C300 HD fully addresses the requirements of
non-linear film and TV production, delivering the ultimate in operational
efficiency in a cost-effective, scalable solution.

The C300
HD integrates DAW control using techniques successfully pioneered with SSL’s
AWS 900+ Analogue Workstation System. This brings the workstation into the
console allowing unparalleled interaction between console and DAW. Automation
developed from the C200 Digital Production Console provides complete real and
non-real time control over the console’s powerful signal processing. This
allows operators to slow down fast moves to a more manageable pace, or even set
up whole scenes with the press of a locate key. This saves massive amounts of
time yet also delivers the subtle control required to satisfy the most
demanding producers or directors.

The C300
HD completes a family of digital production consoles with its sister C100 HD
and HD-S and C200 models. This family of products encompasses a wide range of
audio broadcast production solutions, e.g. on-air, live-to-tape and post
production. All of these products scale to handle the largest productions and
can be configured to fit tight budgets.

Huge
mixing capacity (over 500 mix inputs and 80 mix busses, with DSP from a single
