C30 Models and Options

modelsThere are 2 basic C30 models, either is available in 5.1 & 7.1 variants.  Both provide comprehensive surround monitoring.

Each model has nearly identical monitoring facilities, but a different number of inputs. As the number of inputs grow, some extra features become available and the size of the control panels also increases.

Between these 23 models, we can accommodate the vast majority of your analogue surround monitoring needs.

The two models are:

  • C30-2AS (C30 with 2 analogue sources)
  • C30-8AS (C30 with 8 analogue sources)
