Sound Devices Product and News Updates for NAB 2009

Sound Devices is introducing a new model to its recorder lineup at NAB, the 788T-SSD. This new, premium model of the 788T replaces the 160 GB SATA hard drive with a factory-supplied, high-performance 256 GB solid-state drive. The addition of the SSD provides several important benefits including:

• vast internal storage capacity; continuous recordings of over 60 hoursof 24-bit, 8-track audio,
• increased transfer speed versus a spinning hard drive,
• increased immunity to shock and temperature extremes,
• zero acoustical output.

Sound Devices is previewing the new CL-2 Boom Pole Remote Fader for the 788T at NAB 2009. The CL-2 attaches directly to microphone boom poles and connects to the 788T's C.Link port (Control Link Port). It provides a single, 60 mm fader which can be programmed to control any input or track on the 788T. Additionally, two, two-position switches can be programmed to operate functions on the 788T such as recording start and stop. The CL-2 is powered by the C.Link port on the 788T. The CL-2 is scheduled for availability in Summer 2009.
