Euphonix Introduces
New Sleek Product Line

Black is Back for Euphonix in 2008

Palo Alto, Dec 20th 2007

For 2008, Euphonix, a world leader in large-format mixing consoles and control surfaces, has introduced a new look to its lineup of DAW controllers. Following the successful introduction of the black-look S5 Fusion digital audio mixing system earlier this year, the new 2008 models of the MC Pro and the System 5-MC controllers both support this same dark finish. The sleek new looks are backed up with enhanced EuCon support as more media application companies such as Apple, Apogee, Cakewalk, MOTU and Sony provide greater support of the Euphonix EuCon protocol in their audio and video software applications.

In this latest product generation, the redesigned and renamed black MC Pro features a new smooth jog/shuttle wheel on the left side of the unit for greater ergonomic comfort. With 56 programmable SmartSwitches, nine touch-sensitive knobs for plug-in and processor control, and four touch-sensitive faders for accessing track levels, the MC Pro workstation controller will change your approach to media production forever. The new MC Pro can effortlessly switch between software applications and multiple workstations with the press of a button. From Pro Tools to Logic Pro, from Nuendo to Digital Performer the MC Pro enables control of any application on the market today. Based on EuCon a high-speed, high-resolution Ethernet protocol, the MC Pro provides universal control of multiple applications and workstations.

Also sporting a hot new darker look next year is the System 5-MC.  This cutting-edge DAW controller combines the control surface design of the long successful Euphonix System 5 with the innovative features of the MC Pro for master control functions and network control of multiple DAWs. Expandable from 8 to 48 channel strips, the 5-MC works with any application supported by EuCon, HUI or Mackie Control Protocol and can seamlessly switch between multiple Mac and PC workstations.

“2008 will be a year of new looks for Euphonix,” explained corporate CEO, Martin Kloiber. “In the New Year we will debut some hot new products for the personal studio market, introduce some redesigned products into the professional market and we will launch a fresh new Artist Series website. We are also increasing the reach and power of the EuCon control protocol as more and more manufacturers join with us to improve connectivity between their software products and our control surfaces.”

“January 2008 also marks two other remarkable milestones for Euphonix. It’s our 20th Anniversary and it will be the first time our company has exhibited at the NAMM show in Anaheim. It’s all very new and exciting for us and we are eager to introduce the innovative Euphonix Artist Series product line into the MI market segment of our industry,” Kloiber concluded.

The new black System 5-MC can be seen at NAMM in January together with the new Euphonix Artist Series product line for the personal studio. The Euphonix tradeshow space will be located in Rooms B5955 and B5959 between Halls A and B of the Anaheim Convention Center from January 17-20, 2008.
