The Sound Devices CL-12 Linear Fader Controller has been announced for shipping at the end of October! It significantly expands the mixing capability of the 6-Series mixer/recorder line via a single USB cable that provides both power and control. It will be compatible with the 688 upon shipping with future support of the 664 and 633 to follow.

When the CL-12 is connected, the 688 gains twelve 100 mm linear faders and enhanced, sunlight-viewable LED metering. Numerous dedicated buttons also provides quick access to key functionality for fast track arming, naming, and routing. The CL-12 also features a 3-band parametric equalizer for each of the 12 inputs and the ability to monitor audio directly from the CL-12’s headphone port. Together, the CL-12 and 688 are a complete mixing and recording system, perfect for controlling the multiple audio signals often required in today’s production sound environments.

The CL-12 comes in two models. The standard CL-12 is designed to be a sleek and durable mixing surface with robust black aluminum side panels. Tactile controls, including illuminated buttons and twelve easy-to-use manual faders, combine with LED metering to improve the whole mixing experience.

In addition to offering everything the standard CL-12 does, the CL-12 Alaia features incredibly smooth gliding Penny & Giles faders and gorgeous custom hardwood side panels, available in either Blonde Maple or Red Mahogany.

The CL-12 also provides ports for a USB keyboard connection for efficient metadata entry, remote control via third-party applications (Ambient Beetle Bluetooth dongle, Timecode Systems’ :wave metadata hub), and for powering an optional USB lamp.


 

The K-Tek Stingray Harnesses are now shipping! It's designed to comfortably transfer the gear weight throughout the harness and to your hips/legs instead of your spine. The bag is held securely to the body with six-mounting points while offering unprecedented comfort, allowing for longer duration shots while greatly reducing back fatigue.

Update: The shipping date of the SSM has been revised to Fall 2015.

Pre-order the new tiny Lectrosonics SSM Transmitter and be one of the first to take them home when they ship this summer!

The SSM is incredibly lightweight and compact (2.52" x 1.48" x 0.57" and only 2.3 oz. w/ battery), but a great performer. Our range test had good signal all the way from our sales floor to the corner of 8th avenue, a distance of over 500 feet through brick and concrete!

Get a FREE rewiring of any compatible lavalier for the SSM when you pre-order! (or we'll be selling adapter cables if those are more your style!)
