Sound Devices debuts Mix Assist feature for 788T
Published: PRODUCTS
Sound Devices has launched its new Mix Assist feature for the 788T multi-track digital audio recorder.
The 788T is an eight-input, 12-track digital audio recorder designed for sound engineers mixing on location for films, documentaries, episodic television and reality TV. The new Mix Assist turns down unused microphones while activating only microphones that are in use. Mix Assist activates only one microphone per sound source, attenuating unused microphones by 15dB.
‘Mix Assist listens for the background noise level and adapts its algorithm as background noise levels change,’ explained Jon Tatooles, managing director of Sound Devices. ‘This feature is especially helpful for 788T users doing fast-paced, dialogue-driven productions that need get clean dialog recordings.’
The 788T Multi-Track Digital Audio Recorder offers eight full-featured inputs that accept either microphone or line-level signals, provide 48V phantom power for condenser microphones, offer peak limiters for microphone inputs and feature fully adjustable high-pass filters. The 788T has been designed to withstand the physical and environmental extremes of field production, and the front panel is gasketed for water resistance.
The Mix Assist feature is available as a no-charge firmware update to all new and existing 788T customers.
