Under the upgrade program, an original unit is remodeled and turned into a full featured System 6000 MKII. The MKII may be controlled from TC Icon, TC Icon MKII, a Mac or a PC.
Owners of System 6000 can take advantage of this upgrade program which involves chassis, board and component replacements.
In addition, the upgrade includes installation of new software, transfer of previously acquired licenses, and an update in functionality beyond the latest version 5. Unfortunately version 5 will be the end of the development cycle for the original frame.
