Sound in the Time of Covid

03/16/2020
Update 3/24/20:

Gotham will continue to be open for business primarily by mail, shipping out equipment and accepting repairs with strict sanitizing protocols in place and very limited in-store staff, including at least one owner on site each day.

The stores in New York and Atlanta are open to customers by appointment only, though curbside pick-up is available.

If you intend to come by, please call or email to make arrangements:

We hope you're getting through this trying time as comfortably as possible. If we can help in any way, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Dear Friends of Gotham Sound,
 
During this time of uncertainty as we adjust to the realities of trying to stop the spread of the coronavirus, we wanted to let you know we are thinking about each and every one of you.

The most important thing is that we hope you, your friends, and your family are all safe and well.  We know that times are difficult with the entertainment industry effectively shutting down as well as worries about the virus itself.

We are taking precautions to remain open and available to you as long as possible.  Our employees are practicing social distancing and we will be running our stores with a reduced number of concurrent in-store employees supported by those working from home.  We are cleaning and disinfecting everything at our offices three times as often as usual.

We'll be here to answer questions, to help with brainstorming ideas, and, of course, for anything you need right now.  To help you get the gear delivered directly to you, we are temporarily offering free shipping to the continental US on all orders over $50 placed at gothamsound.com.

Please call us or email us with anything.  We plan on producing some content on Gotham TV to help pass the time while everything is sorted out - we've just uploaded a new one on the Zaxcom Nova firmware updates and our video archives are here..  Please let us know if you have ideas for anything you would like to see.

 

All our best
From everyone at Gotham Sound

Crazy 888s

Crazy 888s

10/25/2019

The Sound Devices 888 is a portable mixer-recorder with eight ultra low-noise 8-Series microphone preamplifiers on eight analog inputs, 16 channels of Dante I/O, and 20 total tracks.

Fully routable inputs, multiple powering methods, a remote control app, and support for multiple USB control surfaces make it easy to tailor the 888 to your workflow in a bag or on a cart.

  • 8 analog input channels - four XLR, four TA3

  • 16 channels via Dante I/O

  • 2" x 10" x 7.3"

  • 10 buses, 20 tracks

  • 8 analog outputs

  • Ultra-accurate time code

  • 256 GB internal SSD

  • 2 SD card slots

  • SD-Remote app-controllable

  • Linear fader control 

  • Dugan or MixAssist Automixing for up to 16 channels

Many features are carried over from the Scorpio, such as the redesigned 8-Series preamplifiers, dual SD card slots, internal 256GB SSD, and dual L-Mount battery charging and powering. Alternatively, power your 888 using a smart battery, NP-1 battery, or an in-line power supply via its TA4 DC input.

The ultra-accurate, fully-featured time code generator contains its own battery to hold time code for up to four hours after power off.

A built-in three band EQ may be set to either pre- or post-fade for each channel to tackle any problems directly on-set.

The User Guide is available here.

The 888 is expected to start shipping next week, but initial stock may be limited, so get your pre-orders in now for earliest possible delivery!
