So,
what's with these pictures, and what can they mean for you?
The
purpose of them is to state a very basic need for any studio
- reliability. The comfort and satisfaction in knowing you
may be secure in what to expect EVERY time you make
a physical patch or wired connection. We must express the
fact that we are quite passionate in our level of commitment
to our work and It shows. For you, it means extremely high
quality which translates to reliability and security. Cane
Audio Systems (C.A.S.)
is primarily a custom wiring shop. We
specialize in using all kinds of materials such as copper,
steel, aluminum, plastics, rubber, wood, and custom molding
resins for the fabrication of products, primarily as support
structures, that are far more intricate than may appear at
first glance. We have the motivation and resources to be truly
committed to the use of such materials. We strive to master
the art of mult-media, by its original definition. This is
custom fabrication, and few shops or individuals still provide
our level of detail.
As
an example, please inspect the interface system that we designed
and built for NYC's (former) Smythe and Company's (Smythe
Music) Studio A. It is a completely custom built assembly,
as can be seen on this site, on the page. "Studio
Wiring". What is first evident, is the use of
ADC -QCP™ punchdown frames, but what is NOT seen is the
steel. wood, rubber, and resin subassembly that IS the very
backbone of why this project is what it is. This interface
is often subject to various levels of vibration, from potentially
high SPL audio (as it is a control room) to foot traffic,
and most significantly, day in and day out use.
The
assembly is mounted within a structure that consists of layers
of various woods, resins and rubber, all of different durometers.
This determines its ability to either be resonant or not and
therefore not susceptible to vibrations. The all steel rack
assembly - frame, panels, hardware and rails, that support
the punchdown panels are potted in 2" of epoxy, acoustically
isolated from the base. The photos (Please click

) will show the rest. Remember that this was a real world
solution, expected to be invisibly there and working - 24
hours a day, 7 days a week, period.
Please
note that in the work seen on this site, with few exceptions,
every metal panel, enclosure or device has been individually
machined, tooled, painted and labeled by us. We are strict
about finishes and coatings, and their resilience. We use
a proprietary finishing and labeling system that have withstood
the test of time and what matters most is longevity and that
translates to confidence in use. Please see our attention
to labeling cables, as all are needed to withstand life in
a a rugged environment (and this means every cable and
assembly we build), and still be as legible as when new. We
use custom protective plastics for labeling that provide great
clarity over time. You do owe it to yourself to see. Please

around.
