Original owner. This is a used 788T location recorder. It has served me well, and continues to operate the same as the day I purchased it. I seldom need timecode anymore, so I'm swapping this out for a different box.Includes the rugged over the shoulder case, 4 XL-2, 4 - XL-2F, XL timecode, USB, firewire cables, and power adapter. Plus the manual.From the website: The 788T: Portable, Eight Input Recorder with TimecodeThe 788T is the right choice for demanding production sound applications. The 788T, with its eight inputs, is perfect for high track count applications ranging from over-the-shoulder reality-style production to cart-based drama production.Inputs and OutputsThe 788T features eight high bandwidth, ultra-low noise microphone preamplifiers. Inputs feature input limiters, input delay, and selectable high-pass filters. The 788T also accept analog line level or AES digital signals.Six analog and six digital outputs are available on multiple connector types, including TA3, multi-pin, and 3.5 mm.Routing and TracksAny input can be routed to any of 8 recording tracks. This offers iso recording of inputs plus recording a two-channel mix and two aux tracks.Any record track can be assigned to each of the three recording media. This allows, for instance, a two-mix to be recorded to CompactFlash while isos and a mix can be simultaneously recorded to the internal drive.File Storage and TransferThe 788T has three options for recording media, internal drive (hard drive), CompactFlash card, or external FireWire drive. Any or all of these can be used simultaneously.The 788T can be connected to Mac OS or Windows computers for high-speed data transfer.Timecode & Word ClockWith its on-board high-accuracy Ambient timecode generator the 788T is at home in complex multi-camera sync-sound productions. Use the 788T as the master clock for the most accurate on-set timecode reference. All common timecode frame rates and modes are supported. Word clock I/O can be used for sample-accurate multi-device connection.ControlsThe 788T controls are fast and intuitive with easy to access buttons, scroll wheel, pop out gain and an informative front panel display.Mix AssistMix Assist "auto-mixes" the post-fade outputs by automatically reducing, or attenuating, the level of microphones that are not active. Mix Assist helps maintain consistent background sound level regardless of the number of open microphones. It reduces comb filtering and phasing when multiple microphones pick up a single sound source. It also increases gain before feedback when the recorder is feeding a sound reinforcement system.Additional Features Each input has solo headphone monitoring, 48 V phantom, limiter, polarity reverse, high-pass, and selectable delay. Sampling rate converters for digital inputs. Sampling rate selectable up to 192 kHz. AES42 digital microphone support. Backlit LCD display viewable in any environment. 8 x 13-segment Peak/VU meters with arm LED. Powered by removable Li-ion rechargeable batteries. External DC input powers unit and charges Li-ion battery. Multi-pin connector for one-cable connection to digital mixing boards (AES input/output, power, switch closure in/out). FireWire 400/800 and USB 2.0 connections for file transfer between 788T's CF and HDD to computer. USB keyboard input for control. Aluminum & stainless-steel chassis for exceptional durability and light weight. Designed for the same operational environmental extremes as Sound Devices field mixers. read more
