This small HUB offers a full integration of wireless receivers into the CantarX3 and CantarMini mixer-recorders.
It is designed to perform as the central HUB for your RF receivers and transmitters.
Aaton has developed OEM kits to transform Octopack from Lectrosonics or SixPack from PSC to make them compatible with Hydra, wireless control system.
Interface
Hydra provides direct access to the UI through dedicated screens of the Cantar display interface.
It allows the set-up of options or channel frequencies as well the use of a spectrum analyser for each receiver. This integration offers the possibility to control up to eight, two-channel wireless receivers with a global and intuitive overview.
Power
The HUB and receivers are powered from a single external DC source on Hirose 4 pin socket.
Full monitoring of the power sources for all connected receivers and transmitters is available from the recorder screen. Extended monitoring information is available when using Aaton Digital’s Smart Battery 14.4V, 49Wh.
Connectivity
The HUB can be connected to up to four receiver sockets by Rj12 cables carrying Metadata & Power. It requires a single USB connection to the Cantar.
Receiver Sub-D25 Sockets incorporate two audio output cables. Analog or Digital audio signals are available depending on the receivers setup.
