The C series of compact MusicXPC computers is built on the world-class Shuttle chassis.  These machines are gorgeous, full-featured and whisper quiet.  They are designed for professional music production and crammed full of the latest in high-end computing technology. There are few tasks in a recording studio that this machine will not handle successfully.

The C series will work all day and all night and because of its small footprint, these machines will stand up to the rigors of knap-sack mobility.  These machines are small and robust enough to be taken back and forth on a daily basis between studio and home.  The compact size comes a virtually no costs in terms of features and power - a full desktop processor, monster storage specs and every port imaginable should dispel any notion that this is anything but a high performance desktop computer. The C series will often out-perform more expensive PC or Macintosh computers in DAW stress tests.

The design of the C series is big on small. The idea is to condense as much computing power into a small place and immediately, the computer becomes very portable and invites mobility. The sleek aluminum exterior of the C series is much more than just a beautiful form factor, the chassis acts as a giant heat sink helping to move heat out of the computer resulting in a very quiet computer - a marriage beauty and brains.

The C series is above all extremely flexible with USB and FireWire ports convenientely accessible from front and back. Our super-smart HPA recovery system can protect your data even after the hard drive is reformated. Video expansion is scalable from single to multiple monitor displays with the inclusion of PCI-Express and built-in VGA connectors. If your idea of a desktop powerhouse is an immovable hunk sitting on wheels, well, think again. The MusicXPC C series computers represent power without the bulk.

The C series computers are some of the quietest in the world.  As a music producer noise is not just an annoyance, noise can ruin a good take, distort processing decisions and be expensive [or impossible] to eliminate once imbedded into your music.  We believe the best strategy is to not have any noise in the first place.

Our C series are engineered to operate in near silence.  The magic lies in a patented heat-pipe technology that is as ingenious as it is simple.  Using simple, noise-less heat convection, the heat pipe shuttles away heat from the CPU and completely eliminates that noisy CPU fan that is so common in computers today.  Our all aluminum chassis design means that the super-structure itself helps to dissipate heat from the inside of the computer.  The C series can operate unnoticed on your desktop within arms length. As musicians, we have always beleived that fan noise should come from an audience.
