Key Features

Professional-Grade Recording

• 4 Midas microphone preamps with +48 V phantom power for condenser mics — clean, detailed capture with excellent noise performance.
• Dual-stage A/D conversion delivers extremely high dynamic range (up to ~140 dB), letting you record loud and quiet sources without clipping.
• 32-bit float and 24-bit fixed-point recording options let you capture rich, distortion-free audio directly to SD card or via USB.
• 10-track recording — record up to eight isolated input tracks plus a stereo mix simultaneously, giving flexibility in post-production.

Built-In Mixer

• 8-channel digital mixer with per-channel level, pan, low-cut, tone, high-cut, and dynamics controls.
• Automixing with gain-sharing algorithm balances multiple mics automatically — perfect for interviews, panels, and documentary shoots.
• Pre-record buffer ensures you capture audio that occurs just before you hit record.

Video-Ready Integration

• SMPTE timecode support — generate, send, receive, or jam timecode to keep audio and video perfectly in sync, even across multiple cameras.
• HDMI CEC trigger lets compatible cameras start/stop audio recording automatically with video recording.
• StageConnect multi-channel digital link sends uncompressed audio with sub-millisecond latency to compatible devices (including expansion modules).
