Step 1. Type RT | Choose your console and DSP license

Available with 6, 12 and 18-faders, every Type RT model delivers the same powerful feature set, I/O capabilities and licensing options,
allowing users to choose the surface size and DSP license that best fits their workflow and budget.

Type RT - 3 frame sizes

1. Fader Panel

Like Type R, each fader strip uses the same control layout and user-configurable options, including the same fader information and metering display located beneath the fader. Each strip also features four dedicated buttons and a rotary encoder.

2. Monitor Panel

66 user-configurable buttons, six user-configurable encoders with accompanying displays, and three user-configurable ancillary displays, providing a highly flexible control surface. A 4-inch TFT display includes two user-configurable meters, while four available banks of controls significantly extend its functionality beyond its primary role as a monitor panel.

3. I/O, GPIO & Networking

Extensive built-in Audio I/O including USB-C, GPIO and networking options provide advanced connectivity straight out of the box, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional hardware.

Step 2. Type RT | Setup and expand your workflow

Virtual Faders with Calrec Assist

Calrec Assist, the browser-based control interface, is included as standard and provides the primary setup and management environment for Type RT. With virtual faders, user-configurable metering and real-time, interactive access to the console from anywhere, it enables users to monitor, control and adjust their mix remotely with ease.

Soft Panels

Large Soft Panels (LSP) and Small Soft Panels (SSP) from the existing Type R range are fully supported, providing added flexibility and control. As standard, one soft panel can be integrated per 6-fader section, allowing users to tailor the surface to their workflow and operational needs.

Step 3. Type RT | Choose additional I/O

Type RT includes flexible I/O connectivity with support for optional MADI, Dante and ST2110 AoIP workflows.

MADI: Choose an optional MADI software license for 64 channels in/64 channels out via BNC connection.

Dante: Choose an optional Dante interface card, with licenses enabling exchange of 64 channels in/64 channels out with other Dante-enabled devices on the network.

ST2110 AoIP: Choose an optional Calrec Medium Capacity Card, which allows connectivity with ST2110 AoIP networks and devices, including all existing Calrec AoIP boxes…

Type R I/O

Type R I/O boxes; easy connectivity to Type R's AES and Analogue boxes as well as the convenient Combo I/O and GPIO Interface boxes.

Modular I/O

Create additional connectivity with Calrec's NEW Apex M6 1U modular I/O box with 6 x I/O card slots, or larger 3U modular I/O box with 20 x I/O card slots. Both can be populated with a wide range of I/O cards.

Fixed Format I/O

Calrec's range of fixed format boxes are all compatible with Type RT providing a wide variety of options across XLR, BNC and D Type connections.

Gateway

Broadcasters who are using proprietary systems can benefit from the efficiencies of IP using Calrec’s SMPTE 2110/AES67-compatible H2-IP Gateway which provides an interface between a Hydra2 network and an AoIP network. It also provides bi-directional control between H2 consoles and IP consoles.
