Not sure what the price point is going to be, but it sure looks like it’s going to compete directly with the LS9 line.
From the article: “[I]The Cadac DM1600 is an all-new development based upon a proprietary DSP mix platform. The new mixer marks Cadac’s continuing expansion into new market sectors with this its first ‘budget’ digital console. [/I] [I] Designed primarily as a live mixing console, an optional Firewire interface additionally provides extensive recording capabilities, while 16-channel 19-inch rackmount expander modules provide for up to a 48 channel mix system. Console features include 16 motorised faders, hi-resolution TFT colour display and scene recall of all functions.[/I]”

No recallable HAs and the ability to go up to 48 channels instead of 32 make it seem almost like a cross between an LS9-16 and a DM1000. I’m digging the screen and extensive number of channel strip encoders although those knobs look a little tight for people who don’t have toothpick sized fingers. I’m excited though. More options in the small format digital market is always good in my book.
