In samenwerking met Waves komt Crest dit jaar met een digitale mengtafel op de markt. De Tactus is een combinatie van de Waves eMotion LV1 mixer, Soundgrid server technologie en de Crest Audio IO interfaces wat te samen het ‘Tactus Digital Mixing System’ wordt genoemd. Het systeem bestaat uit de Emotion LV1 mixer, een Tactus.FOH server/IO en een Tactus.stage stageblok. De Emotion LV1 is een ‘touch-screen based’ live sound mixer van de nieuwste generatie! Tijdens Prolight + sound in Frankfurt (12-15 maart) zal de Tactus voor het eerst te zien zijn in Europa. Nu alvast de specificaties op een rijtje:
