The French association of sound and image - AFSI - has taken note of the judicial liquidation on February 15, 2024 of the company Aaton Digital then the repurchase of the assets by an unknown buyer on Tuesday May 7.
The AFSI, which represents a very large majority of users and owners of Cantar X3 recorders in France, would like to publicly express its legitimate concern following this anonymous purchase.
This recorder is still popular on film sets in France and abroad and has no equivalent for many of us, particularly in terms of ergonomics.
However, this repurchase of assets could have particularly harmful consequences for the continued operation and maintenance of almost all of the different machines that are still in operation today, even though companies are ready to mobilize for this.
On behalf of all users in France and elsewhere in the world, and in order to be able to envisage optimal and long-term continuity of use, AFSI would like the entity which purchased the assets of the company Aaton Digital to make itself known on as quickly as possible.
