Euphonix has announced the MC Control and MC Mix professional control surfaces for its new Artist Series line of products. The MC Control and MC Mix integrate into any studio, fitting between a computer keyboard and screen, and up to four units can be connected to create a larger, integrated control surface.

The MC Control and MC Mix feature EuCon, a high-speed control protocol developed by Euphonix that enables simultaneous control of multiple applications and even workstations over an Ethernet cable at 250 times the speed and eight times the resolution of MIDI. EuCon automatically detects whatever application is in the foreground and instantly sets the high-resolution touchscreen and OLED displays, motorized faders and arsenal of controls to match.

Euphonix has worked closely with the world’s leading software developers like Apple, Steinberg, MOTU and others to deeply integrate native EuCon support into their DAWs to provide high-resolution, high-speed control over almost all DAW functions for an unmatched editing and mixing experience. The MC Control and MC Mix also support the HUI and Mackie Control protocols for even greater flexibility, at a faster speed and higher resolution than any other controllers. The new Euphonix MC Mix will ship in late January 2008 and be available at authorized Euphonix retailers at an estimated street price of $999.99, while the MC Control will ship March 2008 and sell at an estimated street price $1499.99.x.com.
