Funktional Technologies Model: Chocolate Box

The Funktional Technologies Chocolate Box is a 2U analog & digital professional audio device. It incorporates two Cadac “K” type analog input modules. The modules are in their complete original form. Microphone preamp, equalizer, auxes, PFL...everything we loved is included!!

Cadac has a 45 year history in professional audio. We’ve selected these modules since they have a small form factor and have the specifications and warmth that is lost in most modern day analog and digital systems.

The Chocolate Box has been designed to accept these two Cadac modules but doesn’t stop there. We have designed from scratch a fully insertable analog-to-digital & digital-to-analog converters with sample rates to 192Khz. AES, SPDIF, & optical connections included.
The A/D can also be used independently from the CADAC modules

USB interface will be recognized by most any computer recording software, i.e. Protools version 9 and later. For example, connect your Neumann U47 or Shure SM57, get that classic Cadac mic preamplifier & equalizer sound, and record to your computer.
