burton Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 I'd say maybe 6999 USD. Whoever guesses right gets a free one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sound Grab Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 More like 9k USD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandering Ear Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 This is really exciting for me. I've been considering a change to my dante system, one of the main things I want is to reduce the size from a full 16 fader console + stage boxes. Scorpio plus a controller will be drastically smaller & lighter, and much easier to fly with. Many design decisions in this recorder are right in line for me, TA4 for power instead of hirose, Icon M+ controller support, 32 Channels in a 688 form factor, redundant networking. Well done Sound Devices. I also appreciate SD's humor in their faq's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandering Ear Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 And I just noticed they included Word Clock on the TC connector. Lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Southern Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 I’ll put my guess in at 12k USD. In any case, it’s nice to see some subtle innovations on board here such as the surpassing of the 4gb file size limit and the ability to arm and disarm tracks while recording. Somewhat interesting that it can’t be used as an interface but I don’t expect many users would benefit from this feature anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Isaacs Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 They are Scorpio preamps. Lowest noise we've made to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been toying with the idea of using an Icon M+ controller and Reaper for an in the box live mixing / recording rig to get rid of the console, but am always too worried about reliability for a live broadcast. This plus a dante enabled effects server is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmi Weinzweig Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Love that it supports the SL-6 out of the box giving 6 wireless inputs in a bag, centrally controllable. On the other hand, for giant shows one can also use an A-10 Racks and bring the audio in via DANTE. Looking forward to playing with it at NAB next week. Now if I can just win enough money to pay for my NAB travel, and all the new gear I want to buy. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Too bad about CL12, but as they say, this thing may look like a 688 but it seems to be a whole new animal. The "anything to anywhere in any mix at any level" thing is great, as is having WC and the ability to sister 2 of them together. And all my XL-DVDRAM drives are dead now anyway!

Constantin Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 I never liked the CL-12 anyway, and control for any (controller) is pretty cool - depending on the protocol used and if SD is going to allow control of as many functions as possible. But what will sway me mostly to buy one, will be the extra features. If it’s „just“ a recorder with many inputs, I‘m not really all that interested. I‘m very curious what functions they imported from the MixPre, like the overdub and re-record, AutoMix and more? That will make a big difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
