Sound Devices 788T + CL-9 + CL-8. No other accessories, no accu. Age -accordingly used device condition. Only what can be seen in the pictures and is described in the text is sold. We have taken the following data from the technical information from the manufacturer belonging to the article: The 788T is the largest recorder in the program of the American manufacturer Sound Devices. We tested the latest version of the location recorder with Solid State Drive and the optional CL-8 controller. The robust housing (42 * 254 * 159 mm) is entirely made of aluminum and stainless steel (weight 1. 7 kg without battery and CL-8) and not only these are features that predestine the device for external use. The recorder is operated via a Li-ion battery, which can also be quickly exchanged for an charged battery (see picture below) or, e. g. B. during the loading process, over an external power supply. In addition to the 256 GB SSD-Drive, the recorder also has a compact flash slot (UDMA support) on the device outer side and of course FireWire 400 and FireWire 800 Drives can also be connected. The 788T can accommodate up to 12 traces as 16 bits (without and with dither) or 24 bit Broadcast WAV file (mono or multi-channel files) and that with 33, 44. 1, 47. 952, 48, 48. 048, 88. 2, 96 and 96. 096 kHz. In the case of sampling rates from 88. 2 kHz, limiters are no longer available and a maximum of eight traces can be accommodated. The number of traces is also reduced to eight when recording in which the tracks are divided into more than two media. Incidentally, the format is basically 32-bit festival comma internally. Sound devices indicates 120 dB for the converter for A/D and 111 dB for D/A conversion (20 Hz. 20 kHz). The device is plenty of interfaces. On the back of the device there is a sub-D socket on the AES/EBU in (with a strainwalker) and outputs and there are also interfaces for connecting a keyboard, or the CL-8 controller and theOptional CL-1 remote. The AES/EBU inputs not only support AES-3 but also the AES-42 format (exclusively Mode 1) for digital microphones with 10 volt digital phantom power. On the right side of the recorder there are eight analogous mic/line inputs-four executed as XLR and four as mini-din sockets. The controller for the level of the headphone amplifier is also attached here. The inputs are also provided with a switchable 48-volt phantom feed. On the other side of the device there are first six analog outputs (1. 4 in mini-din, 5/6 3. 5 mm stereo handle) as well as two connections for stereo headphones (2. 5 and 6. 3 mm stereo clinke). There are also two AES/EBU outputs as well as the Firewire and the USB 2. 0 interfaces. For the synchronization, the 788-T is equipped with a time code interface (input/output, lemo socket) as well as with Word-Clock entrance and output (BNC). A timecode generator is also available. Also when looking at the status displays and the backlit LC display, you immediately get the focus on the outdoor use because the displays and the display are without restrictions - even in light daylight. The background color switches to green in play operation (display example below is in play operation) and at Record to red. The level of the inputs or tracks is output via 13-segment LED bargraves. By default, the two stereo tracks L/R and Tracks A to F are displayed (parallel stereo/5. 1 operation). The bargraves of the tracks c to f can also be switched to the tracks for g/h and X1/x2 (AUX 1/2). The eight controllers for the regulation of the input or recording level can be retractable and thus can be secured against adjustment. The input gain can be set for mic in the range 0 to 76 dB and for line in the range -26 to 50 dB. The channel that is to be selected is selected via the four buttons between the level regulators. The canal data is then displayed on the display, such as: input source (MIC/LINE/DIGITAL), phantom feed (on/off), limit (on/off), high -pass filter (off or frequency, which is set on the right side of the device via the rotary)), and mute and phase as well as input regulator position. The channel assignment (L/R, A. H, X1, X2) is also shown, which can be flexibly changed via a menu item. The parameters switched to the surrounding keys, which serve as function keys. The play key generally serves as a confirmation and the stop button for the demolition/ESC function. Further system device settings can be made via the button menu and the Take list or drive directory can be viewed via the HDD button and the track menu is accessed via the input button. Individual traces for recording can also be activated or deactivated. A locking of the control buttons can also be initiated by pressing the LCD Backlight and the Tone button. There are two lock modes, either all except the transport button or turned over. A linking of the input channels can also be reached via a menu item. This also includes neighboring channels as stereo channels and a link for an MS operation is also possible. Overarching all channels are also possible for surround recordings. Both m/s and the Soundfield B format are supported in monitoring. An individual delay can also be set for each channel (up to 30 milliseconds). CL-8 controller. The CL8 controller is a very interesting option. Eight locators are available with which the level of the tracks for the stereo sum can be set. In many cases, an affiliated external mixer should be omitted. In addition, the controller also offers LED indicators for many sewer parameters such as phantom feed, limit, phase, high pass, etc. The routing for the stereo sum can also be changed directly via small tip buttons. Since the CL-8 is connected to the 788T via the keyboard interface, the controller itself also offers a keyboard interface. For data exchange, the recorder can be connected directly to a Mac OS X, Windows or Linux PC as a USB storage device, or one of the two firewire interfaces is used for data transfer. The user can update the firmware himself. The latest firmware is available via the manufacturer's website. The operation is clear as such once you have understood the principle and dares z. B. also to be integrated into the transport button as an input medium.
