Sound Devices CL-8 Shipping
Sound Devices' CL-8 Controller, a mixing control surface companion to the company’s new 788T digital 8-track recorder, is now shipping. In addition, the 788T has been upgraded to 12 recording tracks for all 788T users with the latest firmware. The CL-8 features eight large, rotary faders to control the eight inputs of the 788T. It offers command over numerous input settings, including highpass filter, limiter and polarity. When used with the CL-8, the original 788T input controls function as input trims and the CL-8 provides fader control. The CL-8 is able to manage the 788T’s built-in slate mic. For rapid setups in the field, the CL-8 allows users to quickly assign inputs to the main left and right record tracks. The CL-8 is connected to the recorder over a USB connection and it includes a USB keyboard pass-through port. www.sounddevices.com
