Designed for the full spectrum of film and post-production applications, the C300 HD Master Studio System is a compact, assignable console for fast and efficient sweetening and mix creation. The C300 HD fully addresses the requirements of non-linear film and TV production, delivering the ultimate in operational efficiency in a cost-effective, scalable solution.

The C300 HD integrates DAW control using techniques successfully pioneered with SSL‘s AWS 900+ Analogue Workstation System. This brings the workstation into the console allowing unparalleled interaction between console and DAW. Automation developed from the C200 Digital Production Console provides complete real and non-real time control over the console‘s powerful signal processing. This allows operators to slow down fast moves to a more manageable pace, or even set up whole scenes with the press of a locate key. This saves massive amounts of time yet also delivers the subtle control required to satisfy the most demanding producers or directors.
The C300 HD completes a family of digital production consoles with its sister C100 HD and HD-S and C200 models. This family of products encompasses a wide range of audio broadcast production solutions, e.g. on-air, live-to-tape and post production. All of these products scale to handle the largest productions and can be configured to fit tight budgets.
Time-saving and workflow-boosting features of the C300 HD include:
• Dynamic Resource Allocation™ instantly places processing power where you need it
• Huge mixing capacity (over 500 mix inputs and 80 mix busses, with DSP from a single Centuri processor)
• Process linking and stacked channel grouping puts stems and groups under one fader
• Unique MoXY™ controller provides creative, real-time, cross-parameter control
• Integrated multi-machine control including DAW control, a true master studio system
