NOTE: Due to supply chain issues, units are back-ordered until Q2 2023. Aaton products are not available for export outside the US.

The Aaton Cantaress control surface offers comprehensive and flexible control for both the X3 and Cantar Mini recorders.

Twelve assignable channel strips feature Aaton’s ultra-smooth and maintenance-free 100mm magnetic faders.

Each channel has dedicated Solo, PFL, EQ and rotary Trim controls along with a second, user assignable rotary encoder that can perform variable tasks depending on your preference. For example, the encoder can be assigned to nominally control a Line Output, but when the EQ button of the channel strip is pressed, the encoder can temporarily function as an EQ control, reverting back to Line Out when EQ adjustment is completed.

Two hi-contrast paper white screens display the status of the 6 user assignable buttons surrounding each screen, and a collapsible LCD Meter Bridge runs the entire width of the Cantaress, displaying meter views, channel parameters and other functions, while being adjustable to fit the user’s desired viewing angle.

A dedicated Headphone volume encoder, 6.5mm and 3.5mm headphone jacks (3.5mm also functions as Ext Slate Mic input), a large rotary encoder for Jog Wheel functions, and a USB Keyboard port round out the features.
