X3 Little brother
Our aim during the development of the CantarMini was : to make a small CantarX3 with half of the inputs, half of the weight and half of the price but with same qualityof microphone preamplifiers, same functionalities, same graphic interface andthe same software richness.
Working is easier
With its 4 microphone inputs, 2 line inputs and 2 AES42 pairs, resulting in a considerably smaller volume and a more lightweight unit - just 2.8Kg with 2 batteries on board - almost half the weight of the X3, it is ideal for shoulder work.
Always more possibilities
Like the X3, the Mini also has the indispensable tilting display, it uses the same batteries, and is compatible with the add-on mixer panel Cantarem2. Recording is done simultaneously on an internal M2-Sata SSD and two SD cards. Works with two pluggable batteries using smart battery technology.
Of course, most of the software comes across also from the well-developed CantarX3 software.
2 Years Warranty
Two-years standard warranty for all our products.
