MusicXPC Boosts Production of the Professional S4 Studio Production Computer

April 22, 2009

The Professional S4 is a Windows-based system specially tweaked for media production. Configured from the BIOS up to handle a wealth of audio tracks, effects and virtual instruments with ease.

The system features an Intel® Core™2 Quad processor running at 2.83GHz with a 12MB cache on a 1333 MHz FSB. Along side that strong core is 4GB of custom-manufactured DDR3 Dual Channel 1333 MHz RAM, a 20x dual-layer DVD+/-RW, and a whopping four separate SATA II 7200RPM or SSD hard drives providing over 4 Terabytes of total storage! Each hard drive [4x 1TB] has 32MB cache for fast throughput and high track counts.

The Professional S4 comes with virtually all popular interfaces, ports, and connectors. These include FireWire®, USB 2.0, PCI, e-SATA and Gigabit LAN. Additionally, the Professional S4 provides a 512MB DDR2 PCI-E x16 Dual Channel Graphics Card (Dual DVI/ VGA), with Dual-Link DVI- DVI-I, HDMI-Out, and VGA support. Utilizing patented heat pipe technology with custom-tuned low-RPM fans, the operation of the machine is unimaginably quiet.

The latest generation of MusicXPC computers features the most comprehensive back-up/restore system available on any media computer to date. The back-up/restore system allows the user to restore the computer to a fresh factory setting or various saved system images over time. All this can incredibly be done after a catastrophic failure, a drive crash or even a re-formatting. The factory image is stored in an invisible part of the main hard drive, away from any possibly tampering and viruses. Also, don't be surprise it can fit in the full size HD card in its 2 PCI slots. This feature will allow musicians to minimize downtime caused by system failures.

The Professional S4 is shipping now and can be found at authorized MusicXPC dealers in the USA and Canada. The machine retails for $2,799.00 USD
