Performance Driven
Ultra Quiet We do constant Research and Development to ensure that every Music XPC built not only meets industry standard, but in most cases exceeds it. The C9 is no exception to the rule. In the world of audio recording, the noise of the computer can hinder what you are hearing thus interrupting a successful mix. The usual suspects are the fan and the operating noise of the hard drives. The chassis design incorporates “heat pipe” cooling system which allowing for fans only to be used on the power supply and CPU. And while most industry leading video cards have fans, the on-board video adapter is sufficient to operate two monitors for audio applications.Powerhouse At the heart of the system is an Intel Core i5-2500k / i7-2600k Quad Processor, and up to 8GB of DDR3-1333 RAM which gives you the ability to run high track counts, more plug-ins and virtual instruments, with ease, speed and confidence. With one ultrafast 2TB hard drive you have enough room to install your software, store your massive sound library and still have room to record your stems, project files and album masters. A silent yet blazing 120GB SSD(optional) can be added up to boost your booting, loading and caching speed up by 5X. Keeping everything in working order is a custom tweaked version of Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium Edition. ![]() ![]() Reliability Brings Peace of Mind
Easy to back up, easy to restore Recovering data is just half the battle. Returning your system to the way it was is another story. All those software downloads and program updates you've added over the years. With Acronis' patented disk imaging and recovering technology, every bit of information can be restored to its original shape in minutes—without having to reinstall any software application. We’ve done the first step for you by creating a factory default setting so you have set your C9 to its original state right out the box.We understand Musicians The reason MusicXPC was developed was because we understand musicians, engineers and producers. Inspiration can happen anywhere, at anytime and you want to make sure that you capture the moment when it happens. This means having tools that are going to work when you want them too.

Why Pay For More or Settle For Less?
You could go out and buy an over priced computer, but are you really going to get what you need? Will it serve your needs not only for today but in the future?
Our team has one thing in mind and that’s to provide the best computer and the best value because we understand that musician’s lives are complicated enough, so why add to it? We did away with all the features you don’t need, provided you with the features you do all while keeping in mind that your purchase does not just serve your needs today, but as long as you need it too. ![]() ![]() Small Form-Factor Design With so much gear in your studio, whether it is at home or in a commercial space, there is always a compromise with space and comfort. The C9 takes up less space than a regular computer; in fact you could stack 4 of them and would just be at the height of a traditional tower. This means you can move the CPU from the far reach of the ground, and place it on a desk within hands reach. No more reaching down low to connect yout USB thumb drive.![]() USB 3.0 Technology Stay ahead of the game with USB 3.0 connectivity. With the MusicXPC C9 computer you can take advantage of a faster, more robust transfer protocol. While firewire is still an integral part of music technology today, the demand for speed will see more manufacturers develop hardware solutions for the USB 3.0. When this happens you’ll be ready and waiting, no need to go out and buy more hardware for your computer to be compatible, just plug in your USB 3.0 device and rock!![]() I.C.E. Heat Pipe Technology With the increase in CPU and bus speeds, and the need to pack even more functionality into ever smaller spaces, there has been a dramatic increase in the amount of heat generated by components inside the computer. From the CPU, the heat travels up a series of pipes and into an array of radiator fins screwed into the back of the chassis. A single, whisper-quiet fan mounted just behind this blows air through the fins, thus carrying the heat outside and away from the system.![]() MusicXPC Windows 7 With most of the self PCs, the musician is faced with two common problems. They are usually paying for extra software that they will never use in their studio, and the operating system has been designed for everything else but music production. With the MusicXPC, the only thing installed other than the customized Windows 7 operating system is the Acronis recovery software. Right out the box you are getting the upmost performance from the machine; we did the optimization for you! |
