Sound Devices has announced a set of features and firmware updates for the 8-Series Mixer/Recorder and Astral Wireless product lines.
8-Series V11.0
Since debuting in 2019, Sound Devices 8-Series Mixer/Recorders have become an industry standard, favored by top professionals within the film/tv production and broadcast industries. A major part of this has been Sound Devices’ commitment to an open dialogue with the industry, resulting in regular firmware updates and new features. V11.0 adds several requested features to the 8-Series CL-16 Linear Fader Control Surface, making it more flexible and powerful than ever before. These features include the new Waveform Display, Speed Shuttling +/- 32x, Advanced Navigation Tools, Fader Calibration, and increased Channel Color options for customizability.
Astral Wireless
In addition to showcasing the latest for 8-Series, Sound Devices will also be previewing a set of upcoming features and firmware upgrades for their flagship Astral Wireless series exclusively for IBC Attendees. The brand has also taken the opportunity to streamline the nomenclature of Astral Wireless to more accurately reflect its growing ecosystem of best-in-class wireless receivers, transmitters, and microphones – specifically Astral ARX32 (previously A20-SuperNexus), Astral ARX16 (previously A20-Nexus) and Astral ARX8 (previously A20-Nexus Go).
