Constantin Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Sorry about that! The beauty of it though is getting informative rebuttals such as the one Peter offered above.sure, sure. Although... Kortwich is a common name for bags around here, ready-made or costum. Anyway. I don't want to stand in the way of interesting info. Here is a link to the website of André Zacher, a well-known german production sound mixer. He does lots of documentaries with the Cantar. You have to scroll through several pics to see those of the Cantar in a bag in action. http://www.film-ton.com/pictures/documentarypics/docpics_az.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm familiar with Kortwich, just not with their Cantar bag (though I should've probably figured that since they custom-make bags it wouldn't be too difficult for them to make one up). Cheers, J.

Marc Wielage Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I see no listing for Aaton at the upcoming NAB in Vegas. Will they be represented at another booth, like LSC or Trew Audio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananaman Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I mailed Aaton for more info than the rumors and gossip going around. This was (part of) their answer: I'll not attend NAB this year and we will not show the Cantar. The first official presentation will be in Amasterdam for IBC.

Herbert Verdino Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I use the Cantar mainly in a bag, over the shoulder and it works well for me. What I really love about the machine and it's slide faders is, that it is very comfortable to mix with one hand, using one finger for one slider... feels like playing an instrument :-) Although.... at the moment, I am considering to buy a smaller recorder as second machine and for smaller jobs.

Constantin Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 http://www.aaton.com/node/157wow, €15k is a lot of money. And €4500 as a deposit for a machine you don't know anything about (they din't even list the number of inputs) and on the vague chance that ut will actually be ready by the end of September, is a lot of money, too. Just for the deposit alone you could buy a whole recorder from another company, but... it won't be a Cantar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 constantin: " Just for the deposit alone you could buy a whole recorder from another company, but... it won't be a Cantar " I'm guessing it is not for you.

And - maybe in some time Aaton will publish all details of the machine to come on the website. I don't read any kind of subterfuge or attempt to hide information in the website.

Constantin Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm guessing it is not for you. You're guessing wrong, I'm anxiously waiting for it. But I'll await its actual release before considering to buy it, as I would with any piece of gear. Wait till the infant diseases have been cured. Although the Cantar is not really an infant anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit i have the same questions about this part of financing. The first X was imo a serious step forward, so basically worth every penny. It is still running here, so a fabulous return on investment. But, to make another step forward ( and therefore justify the rather high list price ) i would also like to know a lot of specific specs before donating 4500 €. The only thing users could see where pictures, and a prototype if they atended that paris trade show.. A bit odd imo, so i rather wait till i get some proper information about the specs ? best, R.

RPSharman Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I just can't see spending that kind of money on a recorder. I could buy a handful of other machines for that. I suppose the market is very small, so the price must be very high. I guess that's the formula they are going for. If SD or Zax made a miniature linear fader panel for bag use, I can't imagine many people would buy the Aaton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnpaul215 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 If they are still as weatherproof as the previous models, that's an important niche right there. Not all the ports look so down facing, but maybe they will be ready for rain and snow and dust and dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
