Never Touch a Gain Knob Again. 32‑Bit Float. 8 Inputs. Absolute Peace of Mind.

Product Introduction

“You’ve been rolling for twelve minutes. The scene is perfect. The actor, finally in the zone, delivers a line at a whisper — then suddenly explodes into a rage-filled scream that peaks 30 decibels higher than anything in rehearsal.

On your old recorder, that scream is gone. Clipped to distortion. Unusable. You call for another take, the moment is broken, and everyone on set looks at you.

Now imagine that same moment, but with this recorder. The dual A/D converters — one set low, one set high — capture every fragment of that whisper and every ounce of that scream. In post, you simply pull the level back. The scream is pristine. The whisper is noise‑free. No one ever knows it peaked 30dB over where you set the gain, because you didn’t set the gain. You never have to again.

Eight locking Neutrik XLR/TRS combo inputs give you full control over a complex scene. 75dB of ultra‑clean gain with –127dBu EIN means even the quietest ambiences come through without hiss. Record 10 tracks to dual SD cards simultaneously — each supporting up to 1TB — so redundancy is built in, not bolted on. The 0.2ppm timecode generator stays accurate even when powered off, keeping your multi‑camera shoots in perfect sync.

This is the recorder that removes ‘what if I clipped?’ from your internal monologue. It gives you back the mental bandwidth to focus on what matters: capturing the performance.”

Product Features

🎯 32‑Bit Float: The Eraser for Clipped Takes
“You can’t un‑clip audio” used to be true. Not anymore.
“Dual A/D converters run simultaneously at different gain stages. One captures the quietest breath; the other handles the loudest explosion. In post, the waveform that looks like a flat‑topped brick wall simply pulls back into a perfect curve. You don’t ride gain during recording. You don’t pray. You just record.”
🎛️ 8 Neutrik Inputs + 75dB of Silent Gain
For when the director says “we’re wiring eight talents and the room.”
“Locking XLR/TRS combo connectors — the kind that don’t accidentally unplug when someone steps on a cable. Each channel delivers up to 75dB of gain with a –127dBu equivalent input noise floor. That’s preamp performance that competes with units costing three times as much. Switchable mic/line on every input. No external preamps needed.”
⏱️ Timecode That Stays Alive When the Power’s Off
Multi‑camera shoots live and die by sync. This one lives.
“The built‑in Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) generates timecode at 0.2ppm accuracy — and keeps generating it even when the recorder is powered down. BNC input and output, support for dropframe and non‑drop formats, and Jam Sync mean this recorder slots into any professional workflow without a fight. Your picture editor will thank you by name.”
💾 Dual SD Slots: Redundancy Isn’t a Feature. It’s Insurance.
One card fails? The other one didn’t.
“Record all 10 tracks — 8 inputs plus a stereo mix — to two SD cards simultaneously. Each slot supports up to 1TB. You can configure it for instant backup, or for continuous recording that overflows from one card to the next. In a world where reshoots cost thousands and live events can’t be repeated, this isn’t a luxury. It’s the only sane way to work.”
