1 Sound Devices 788T-SSD 8 Channel Portable Solid State Audio Recorder The Sound Devices 788T-SSD Portable Digital Recorder builds on the success of the Sound Devices 7-series digital recorders. The 788T-SSD is a lightweight and compact professional recorder that features 8 digital recording tracks. An internal 256GB SSD, CompactFlash media with UDMA support, external FireWire hard drive or DVD-RAM (with bus powering) all serve as compatible recordable media. Any or all of these options may be used to record audio simultaneously and the 788T-SSD serves as a mass storage device when connected to high-speed USB or FireWire ports on Windows and Mac OS X computers. The 8 microphone and line-level inputs are provided as 4 XLR and 4 TA3-male connections. The 788T-SSD has 8 channels of balanced AES3 digital input and 6 channels of balanced AES3 output for simple integration with compatible AES3 digital cameras and mixers. All of the 7-series feature still apply; including 48V phantom, limiter, polarity reverse, high-pass, selectable delay and headphone monitoring on each input. Compact and Durable 8-track portable SSD/CompactFlash audio recorder with 256GB internal SSD and full time code implementation Compact aluminum and stainless-steel chassis for exceptional durability and light weight, resistant to environmental extremes Comprehensive Professional Connectivity 8 channels of improved microphone and line inputs with phantom power, limiting, and high-pass filters 3-channel, balanced mic/line level outputs on TA3 connectors Multi-pin AES3 I/O for complete compatibility with supported digital cameras, mixers, etc High speed FireWire and USB ports for high-speed data transfer to computers for editing and backup High-Resolution Recording and Synchronization 24-bit or 16-bit with or without dither, 32kHz - 96kHz sampling rates Input-to-track assignment with 256 possible routing combinations WAV or BWF format, mono or poly files, uncompressed PCM audio MP3 encode and decode, 32 to 320kbps stereo files Stable, reliable Ambient time code circuitry, tunable to <0.2 PPM accuracy with all relevant TC rates and full Word Clock I/O
