Sound Devices is announcing the latest addition to its 7-Series line of digital audio recorders, the 788T eight-track recorder. First shown at NAB 2008, the 788T is designed specifically for multi-track, on-location productions and features eight full-featured microphone inputs and eight tracks of recording. In a stainless-steel and aluminum chassis weighing less than 4 pounds and roughly the size of a hardcover novel, the 788T accommodates individual controls and connectors for each of its eight inputs, plus numerous additional I/O and data connections. The recorder also comes equipped with a 160 GB 2.5-inch internal SATA hard disk drive. This on-board storage provides up to 30 hours of eight-track, uncompressed 24-bit audio recording of industry-standard Broadcast Wave files. In addition, CompactFlash cards with UDMA support and external FireWire mass storage volumes can be used for recording and playback. Available now. www.sounddevices.com
