Steinberg ships MR816 CSX/X and CC121 Advanced Integration
Hardware
New generation of integrated hardware/software systems
with Cubase 4.5
Hamburg, September 3 2008 _ Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH
is pleased to announce that the MR816 CSX and MR816 X Advanced
Integration DSP Studios and the CC121 Advanced Integration
Controller are now shipping to Steinberg resellers worldwide.
Designed by Steinberg and Yamaha and manufactured by Yamaha in
Japan, the new hardware units are the result of the ongoing
technological cooperation between the software and hardware experts
at both companies.
_The shipping of MR816 CSX, MR816 X and CC121 is a landmark
event for Steinberg,_ comments Stefan Schreiber, Steinberg_s
Marketing Manager for Hardware. _Utilizing new integrative
technologies, these new products combine with Cubase to form an
extremely powerful production environment with peerless integration
between hardware and software, one that offers not only myriad
workflow advantages but also outstanding sonic characteristics,_
Schreiber continues.
MR816 CSX and MR816 X Advanced Integration DSP Studios are two
first-class 16-channel FireWire interfaces that integrate directly into
Cubase at core level. Among the features available with Cubase are
True Integrated Monitoring_, Quick Connect, full user interface
integration into Cubase as well as the accessibility of DSP capability in
Cubase as a VST3 plug-in. But the integration with and 1:1 functional
mirroring of the hardware with Cubase are not the only stand-out
characteristic of these two new units. _The eight D-Pre microphone
preamps have been designed to offer outstanding sonic
characteristics,_ Schreiber explains, _while the quality of the REV-X
reverb on both units and the unique EQ and compression tools offered
by the Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip plug-ins on the MR816
CSX further underline the exceptional quality of this system. And while
MR816 CSX and MR816 X are the ideal I/O for any Cubase owner,
the included ASIO and CoreAudio drivers offer compatibility with any
DAW supporting these two standards,_ Schreiber adds.
CC121 Advanced Integration Controller is a made-for-Cubase
precision controller featuring a combination of dedicated controls for
Cubase functions with the ultra-flexible AI Knob. _This one-of-a-kind
combination keeps the musician or producer absolutely focused on
their project,_ Schreiber continues. _The advanced ergonomics
harness the speed of the mouse as a pointing device, while dedicated
controls for Cubase mean that direct access to Cubase functionality
quickly becomes second nature. The combination of these two
approaches in one first class controller means a workflow in Cubase
that_s as fluid and intuitive as it is efficient. This is designed to feel like
the hardware extension of the Cubase software,_ Schreiber adds.
Pricing
MR816 CSX costs _1199.00*, while MR816 X costs _799.00*. CC121
is available for _399.00*.
*Suggested Retail Price including 19% German VAT. Prices subject to
