Centro is a Master Section designed to give DAW users all of the intuitive control of a large format console. Switching, routing, cue mixing and talkback all happens Centro-lly. And who better to create such a useful device than Audient, whose expertise with recording consoles includes designs for Soundcraft, Midas, MCI, and DDA (the precursor to Audient), not to mention custom consoles for the cream of British rock (see Audient company history).

Co-founder David Dearden has worked with David Manley (original owner of Manley Laboratories), Eddie Offord (Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Yes), and was involved in building a custom console and private studio for John Lennon for his Imagine sessions, followed by studios for George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Gus Dudgeon (producer, Elton John, David Bowie), and Chris Squire of Yes.
