Erob Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 As of right now no. The list of compatible control surfaces is: Behringer X-TOUCH iCON Platform M+ (w D2 Display) iCON Platform X+ iCON Platform B+ Mackie MCU Pro Sonosax SX-LC8+ Sound Devices CL-12 Sound Devices CL-16 So there are options other then the CL-16. I’ve heard some people love the Sonosax, I believe it’s powered via usb as well (don’t quote me on that) making it easy to use on location. I have the icon M+ and for the most part have been happy with the limited use I’ve done with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Others may still work, as long as they use the Mackie universal protocol....? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Erob Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Rereading the FAQ’s on Sound Devices website, I believe you are right. Those are the tested and approved one but anything that uses MCU should in theory work. Can always give it a try and see what happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IronFilm Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 I use an iCON Platform M+ (w D2 Display) myself with an 833, from reading the 8 Series group it seems other non-official may "work" but it depends on your luck as to how well it "works" and how many quirks you'll have to put up with. If you just simply want a relatively predictable and solid control surface, then get the iCON Platform M+ (or the SX-LC8+ if you really want it as compact as possible, or a CL12 if you've already got one, or ideally the CL16 if you've got the cash).
