CHOCOLATE BOX

• The Funktional Technologies Chocolate Box is a 2U analog & digital professional audio device. It incorporates two Cadac “K” type analog input modules. The modules are in their complete original form. Microphone preamp, equalizer, auxes, PFL...everything we loved is included!!

• Cadac has a 45 year history in professional audio. We’ve selected these modules since they have a small form factor and have the specifications and warmth that is lost in most modern day analog and digital systems.

• The Chocolate Box has been designed to accept these two Cadac modules but doesn’t stop there. We have designed from scratch a fully insertable analog-to-digital & digital-to-analog converters with sample rates to 192Khz. AES, SPDIF, & optical connections included. The A/D can also be used independently from the CADAC modules

• USB interface will be recognized by most any computer recording software, i.e. Protools version 9 and later. For example, connect your Neumann U47 or Shure SM57, get that classic Cadac mic preamplifier & equalizer sound, and record to your computer.

CLASSIC CADAC

This is the Cadac "K Type" 25 frame in its original form. Its a smaller designed module and frame from the legendary "J" Type with less auxiliaries & group sends. Same Microphone preamp & equalizer.
In an effort to be green, we have reclaimed and repurposed these high quality modules for continued use in studio and live sound.
