Frequently Asked Questions

Do all microphone preamplifiers support 48V phantom power on the Sound Devices 8 series?

All of the Sound Devices products provide phantom power for condenser microphones. Its worth noting that if you use the lowest phantom voltage necessary you will increase runtime of your mixer when powering from batteries.

Can I run an RF scan of a Superslot receiver from a Sound Devices 8 series mixer recorder?

Yes, you can run an RF scan of a Superslot receiver from a Sound Devices 8-Series mixer-recorder using the SL-2 Dual SuperSlot Wireless Module.

The SL-2 supports a variety of SuperSlot receivers, including: Audio Ltd A10-RX, Lectrosonics SRb, SRc, SRc-941, SRb5P, and SRc5P, Sennheiser EK-6042, Sony DWR-S03D, Wisycom MCR42 and MCR54.

What are the benefits of 32-bit float recording?

The primary benefit of 32-bit float recording is its significantly larger dynamic range compared to standard recording formats like 24-bit, allowing for much greater flexibility in post-production by capturing a wider range of sound levels without clipping, even if you misjudge the input level during recording, making it ideal for unpredictable situations where precise level control might be difficult; essentially, you can easily adjust loud and quiet sounds in your DAW without introducing noise or distortion.

It supports a wide range of receivers from leading manufacturers, allowing you to seamlessly integrate your preferred brand.
