The Calrec Type R Large Soft Panel consists of a large 1280x800 pixel, touch-sensitive TFT display for parameter control and status information.

The 6 x rotary controls and 6 x illuminating buttons are user-definable, and used in conjunction with the TFT screen.

A Cat5e connector on the rear edge of the panel provides both power and data connections.

Calrec Type R - Expandable, Modular IP-Based Radio System

Type R is a new modular, expandable, IP-based radio system from Calrec Audio, which utilises standard networking technology and combines it with soft panelswhich can be tailored to operator needs.

Type R’s physical control system consists of just three slimline panels: a fader panel, a large soft panel and a small soft panel. Each is compatible with COTS hardware and powered over ethernet to keep cabling to a minimum.

Type R has a simple 2U core at its heart with integrated I/O resources to get you up and running immediately. A single core can power up to three independent mixing environments, with no sharing of DSP resources. Whether used as independent studio consoles, microphone processors or utility mixing, the ability to use multiple mixing engines combined with the flexibility of the AES67 compatible network provide all the power you will ever need.

The touch-screen soft panels are designed around simple and colourful control elements and can easily be customised as multi-function panels. Soft Panels can be utilised in either landscape or portrait formats, and used to provide adaptable and specific functionality for talent, while ensuring overall control is maintained by the station technical team. This functionality can be quickly changed from show-to-show using simple memory loads, and can be tailored to fit the needs of the talent.

Fader panels are small, sleek and simple, with six faders and immediate access to essential controls. Fader panels can be added or removed as simply as plugging or unplugging an ethernet cable, creating a radio infrastructure which is easily expandable, and making upgrades a breeze.

Broadcast-specific control is clear and concise across the system. Bussing, including the creation of mix-minus feeds, is quick to assign, while EQ and dynamics control is clear and fast. It is a pure radio platform designed for a fast-paced modern environment.

And as you would expect from Calrec, Type R is a resilient console system designed for reliable professional use, with all the requisite power, function and scalability to keep you on air for many years to come.

Type R is a thoroughly modern and customer-focused radio broadcast system which adapts to a station’s needs as its requirements evolve, and provides simple customisation across established networks, open control protocols and surface personalisation.

With a native IP Backbone, Type R provides an infrastructure for future expansion. It guarantees stations are not only able to keep pace with changing demands, but provides the facility to ignite their audiences with new and innovative programming.
