Pro Audio PCs introduction

Scan 3XS features its own dedicated Pro Audio workstation team, who have been supplying and supporting studios around the world, with recording and production systems for over 15 years. From our entry-level systems, which are ideal for anyone just starting out and wanting the ability to expand the setup as they grow, right through to our high-performance workstations that are capable of keeping up with even the most demanding of audio professionals. We test all of our systems with a range of DAW software and hardware before making any of our systems available to you, with our build process featuring specific testing and tweaking of the hardware to help ensure that every system we ship is ready to rock with all your studio kit right out of the box.
