The PLASA Show 2024 sees the UK debut of Cadac Consoles’ CM-J50 digital audio mixing console.
Following the company's recent announcement of its shift to UK-based manufacturing, Cadac Consoles will showcase the CM-J50 on Stand E85 alongside Precision Audio Solutions, who played a pivotal role in the CM-J50’s international Beta test programme, and UK speaker manufacturer Inspired Audio.
James Godbehear, Director of Marketing and Business Operations, elaborates, “We’re really excited to be able to show the CM-J50 on our home turf and see the reaction it gets. Being on the stand with Precision Audio adds an extra dimension, as it gives visitors the chance to put questions to someone who has used the console in the real world. Our relationship with Andi Churchill and Precision Audio dates back to the launch of the CDC six, so when the CM-J50 was ready for testing, Andi was one of my first phone calls.”
Andi Churchill, Managing Director of Precision Audio Solutions, continues, “When James called, I was immediately interested and eager to get on board. Before taking the CM-J50 out on the road, we spent six months testing it rigorously in our warehouse - everything from identifying software quirks to bouncing it around the car park, loading and unloading it from vans, and transporting it across the country. Despite Cadac's challenge to 'break it,' the CM-J50 withstood everything we threw at it. Over the past 18 months it’s been used on over 250 shows, primarily with bands, as well as with the English Philharmonic Orchestra, handling up to 56 input channels and delivering monitor mixes from FoH; so really putting the console through its paces.”
Churchill adds; “The rack end is a major step up too, packed with features like fibre connections, a headphone amp, control screen and all the I/O you’d ever need, and in such a small amount rack space. The CM-J50 itself is phenomenally easy to use, and in my 20 years as an audio engineer, it's genuinely the best-sounding digital mixer I’ve heard.”
Godbehear concludes, “We’re really looking forward to PLASA and the chance to discuss the CM-System, our move to UK manufacturing, and what’s next for Cadac.”
