The Sound Devices CL-8 is a companion mixing panel for the 788T digital hard disc recorder. The CL-8 provides rotary faders, high pass filters, limiters, polarity switching, and mute functions for each input. With the CL-8's associated firmware upgrade the 788T also adds two pre- or post- fader aux recording tracks for more versatile tracking needs. Above each fader are three buttons, one each for limiter, high-pass, and polarity. By pressing different combinations of these buttons, the user can route the channel to the left, right, aux 1, and aux 2 tracks. A slate mic function and headphone solos are also added. The CL-8 is small. It adds just 1.65 inches to the recorders height and its just 2.25 inches deep, much less than the 788T in depth. The unit attaches to either the top or bottom of the recorder with included screw and post set. Connections between the CL-8 and 788T are via a common USB cable.
The CL-8 adds mixing capabilities for both cart and bag situations to an already capable, flexible, and user-friendly recorder.
