The 788T: Portable, Eight Input, Twelve-Track Recorder with Time Code

The 788T and 788T-SSD are eight input, twelve-track digital audio recorders designed for production sound. Its eight pristine analog inputs accept microphone or line-level signals, provide 48 V phantom power, offer peak limiters for microphone signals, and adjustable high-pass filters. For additional flexibility, the 788T accommodates eight channels of balanced AES3 digital input and six channels of balanced analog line-level and AES3 digital output. Support for AES42 digital microphones is also available.


788T Key Features

Routing and Tracks

Extensive routing flexibility allows recording of isolated inputs while simultaneously recording mixed tracks. Inputs or track assignments can be sent to analog and digital outputs.

Data Storage and Transfer

The 788T has three options for recording storage that can be used simultaneously.

  • Internal storage: 788T (160 GB SATA), 788T-SSD (160 GB Solid State Drive)
  • CompactFlash cards with UDMA support
  • External FireWire hard drive or DVD-RAM (with bus powering)

The 788T Recorders can be connected to Mac OS or Windows computers with USB or FireWire 400/800 for high-speed data transfer.
