Sound Devices Packs Scorpio Power into Small 8-track Recorder1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWhen Sound Devices released Scorpio at NAB 2019, it featured 32 track recording and mixing. While having that robust track count available is ideal for complex production workflows that are seen in films like A Star is Born or even on TV series like Modern Family, all that bandwidth comes at a price. US$9,000 to be exact.
Sound Devices has now taken everything we love about Scorpio and shrunk it down into an 8-track recorder and mixer called the 833.
