Description
CANCUN 442-Mic A mobile production toolbox
Key Workflow: On-the-go technicians, reporters and mobile production talents will enjoy its embedded mixer and seamless integration to their favorite editor or radio automation, particularly when coupled to audio-over-IP software on their laptop such as IQOYA V*MOTE.
Production engineers can quickly set up high-quality Record/Play on a PC or Mac using CANCUN’s LED-lighted touch panel and monitoring from zero-latency headphone mixer.
Live sound engineers appreciate CANCUN’s AES/EBU and analog interfaces, which Play/Record up to 4+4 channels simultaneously. During sound system set up, operators can count on the card’s linearity and the settings control enabled by main audio measurement applications.
