The CS3000 was the commercial peak of the digitally-controlled analog Euphonix — up to 148 inputs, Apogee converters, HyperSurround panning, and the EuCon control protocol that would eventually form the backbone of Avid's modern control surfaces. Became a staple of Nashville country recording and West Coast pop mixing through the late 1990s.
