Constantin Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Wow, that is very impressive! So many new products in such short succession, that’s incredible. The place must be brimming with energy! Or exhaustion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobilemike Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I’m so bummed this doesn’t have Dante. If it did I would pick one up ASAP. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyman Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Seems like a nice evolution of the 633. The "8 Tracks" via two on the return 1/4" in though is kind of a bummer. I guess though it is nice to have the option if you're like me and 6 tracks on my 633 is fine 95%+ of the time except that once or twice a year I wish I had a couple more?

Or exhaustion I think Sound Devices has this year decisively answered all those who complained "what about the pros" with the Scorpio and now 833 If anything perhaps the MixPre series has given Sound Devices the extra revenue / resources to expand and bring out *more* products for us.

codyman Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 On an interesting note, seems the Mackie MCU Pro controller is now supported which is super convenient for me in that I already have one for my Pro Tools rig! It's a 7.5v (3-4amp) mixing desk though so I wonder how one could give it proper voltage from a lithium source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanalef Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Love the internal SSD recording, EQ, and two separate auto mix groups! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I wish I knew more about these mic pres versus the Kashmir pres. I could find out on a trial basis. There seems to be little information on the difference. And I suppose there may be other elements that could affect the overall sound quality. Also, apparently not internal 32bit processing on this or the scorpio. Please correct me if I am wrong. Congrats Sound Devices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering about that - is that 1 stereo or 2? Doesn't the 6 series you effectively have 2 in the main mix bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewstone Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 All 6 mic inputs, including the TA3 connected ones, can carry phantom power.

Ohhhh... two separate automixers could be handy And the internal SSD will be great for peace of mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my understanding that sometime in the future the antenna port will be used for communication wirelessly with the various remote control apps/devices.

davedv Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 30 minutes ago, daniel said: . SMA antenna port? According to the manual, the SMA connector: "Connects to included external antenna for Bluetooth LE." It's kind of interesting to have an antenna for Bluetooth, which is kind of designed for short range applications to begin with, but this may improve the usable range. Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) is the low power version of Bluetooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No risk of bouncing the RF around inside of the metal chassi and getting the signal further out from a crowded bag with many other RF receivers/emitters.

Robfh Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Anyone use the Scorpio for recording orchestra or concert choir? I am currently using Prism Maselec Pres and Hilo conversion. How does the Scorpio compare? I have injured my back and need to switch to lighter rig so I'm searching for alternatives. Thanks, Robfh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And new to me certainly - SD now moving to Smart batteries... but strangely still building around the Sonys. I'd happily switch over completely but no love in lugging 2 different battery systems / chargers around the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
