Aaton CantarMini 16 Track Mixer/Recorder
The CantarMini is based on is older sibling the renowned CantarX3, widely recognized by the sound community as the ultimate digital 24 track location sound recorder.
With the same performance and same quality product the CantarMini re-tains the full sound quality, uses the same preamps and components and manufacturing quality, with the same ergonomic design as the CantarX3.
Location audio mix record is easier with this 16-track digital recorder.
Offering 4 microphone inputs, 2 line inputs and 2 AES42 pairs, resulting in a considerably smaller volume and a more lightweight unit - just 2.8Kg with 2 batteries on board - almost half the weight of the X3, it is ideal for shoulder work.
Like the X3, the Mini also has the indispensable tilting display, it uses the same batteries, and is compatible with the add-on mixer panel Cantar-em2.
Recording is done simultaneously on an internal M2-Sata SSD and two SD cards. Works with two pluggable batteries using smart battery technology.
Of course, most of the software comes across also from the well-developed CantarX3 software.
