Music XPC Pro C1
It's small, very quiet, light and powerful beyond your wildest expectations. That's the MusicXPC Professional, a computer system designed by Les Bateman that is made for audio professionals who want a solid PC that works so that they can.
MusicXPC Professional is the culmination of years of crafting computers for the audio industry - for professional studios, project studios, film composers, broadcasters, mastering houses and serious musicians. The MusicXPC Professional offers the musician real advantages over average computers in 4 key areas.
Very Quiet Operation
MusicXPC Professional uses a patented heat-pipe technology to conduct heat away from the CPU to the back of the aluminum chassis. This eliminates two fans that would traditionally occupy prominent spots in your computer and it your audible spectrum. The MusicXPC does have one fan at the rear of the chassis but you cannot find a quieter computer on the market. This machine runs so quiet that you will forget that it's ON.
Performance
Don't let the small size fool you, the MusicXPC Professional out-performs many computers in its price range. In fact, the MusicXPC Professional is faster than some computers selling for more than double its retail price. We know because we've compared them. The Pentium 4 CPU blazes through CPU intensive tasks like Virtual Instruments and Effects Plug-ins. The machine delivers scores and scores of audio tracks. If you want a computer that will keep up with your demanding audio tasks look no further.
Tweaked for Music
MusicXPC Professional is made for audio professionals. It's not designed for organizing photos or playing back MP3s, this is a machine for professional audio recording, mixing, mastering and media creation. Out of the box, it's ready for production because we've tweaked it to the max. Windows XP services that are not needed are turned OFF and the ones needed are turned ON.
Service and Support
MusicXPC Professional is not sold direct by us. We believe that the best place to buy this machine is at a Music Retailer where all the choices for sound cards and software are available to you. Our retailers offer excellent service and financing options. They also offer you a chance to actually see the machine in action instead of just reading about it on line. We believe in the human interface that our dealers provide. We back this with first class support for any problems you may have getting your MusicXPC going. Our service people are extremely knowledgeable and have many years of experience in music technology.
With all these bases covered, you can buy a MusicXPC Professional with the peace of mind that it will do the job without making you lose yours.
