Description
The CL-16 Linear Fader Control Surface for 8-Series combines the simplicity of traditional analog consoles with the power and flexibility of digital consoles. This bespoke control surface enhances the experience of cart-based mixing with its intuitive operation, 16 silky-smooth faders, 16 dedicated trims, and a glorious panoramic LCD. All of this is elegantly engineered into a 16.3”-wide compact unit which fits in a cart and operates from 12 V DC.
Experience the power of precision with the ultra-wide, multi-color waveform display—designed for fast, intuitive navigation and instant access to key moments. Quickly jump between takes using Q markers and up to sixteen customizable locate points. Scrub forward or in reverse, play, pause, and fine-tune with ease.
View waveforms for any combination of mix and ISO tracks—or isolate a single track with PFL for focused inspection. Playback on set has never been this smooth, this visual, or this efficient.
In 2021, the CL-16 won 57th CAS Outstanding Product in Production and AMPS Excellence in a Production Audio Product.
