The J-Type was the first console to feature CADAC’s unique frame design which
allow users to put any module in any position, thus configuring the console to suit the
project in hand. Each module is fitted with XLR connectors and jack sockets on the
rear vertical face, enabling the module to be moved quickly and easily.
The J-Type module’s design features a motherboard, with plug-in daughter boards
for all audio and digital control functions. This ensures servicing simplicity and fast
replacement of any faulty component. Each module may be plugged into any posi-
tion in the console frame, by means of top quality two-part connector system, which
is designed as a mating pair to provide excellent mechanical and electrical reliability.
A rail system is used to guide each module into its correct position. Also, the console
design allows modules to be removed or inserted without powering down.
