Sound Devices Scorpio 32-Channel/36-Track Portable Mixer-Recorder for Pro Audio Applications
Designed for field production, the Scorpio is a portable field mixer and recorder with 32 channels, 36 tracks, Dante connectivity, and an extensive range of interfaces. Its feature set is robust even by Sound Devices standards. In fact. Indeed, the Scorpio is the flagship sound-recording device in Sound Devices' production line.
With sixteen top-notch preamps, thirty-two Dante I/O channels, twelve analog outs, twelve buses of AES I/O, and much more, the Scorpio was designed to be as ergonomic as it is strong. Most menu items can be accessed with one or two buttons, and many menu shortcuts can be operated with one hand. L-mount batteries or NP-1, smart, or inline power sources can be used with the TA4 DC inputs to power the device. You even get an integrated dual L-mount battery charger with the Scorpio.
The Best Pres Sound Devices Has to Offer16 high-quality, low-noise preamps are on hand right from the device, accepting inputs over XLR, TA3, and TA5 connections. These preamps outperform all previous Sound Devices pres by any measurable spec. All of them provide 3-band EQs, analog limiting, high-pass filters, adjustable delays, and phantom power.
All the I/O You Need
Need 32 channels of Dante in and out? The Scorpio is equipped for that. It also handles AES I/O and gives you 12 analog outputs. Multiple headphone outs are on hand to suit any kind of situation. Even communication headsets can be accommodated.
Complex Internal Routing
Use the Scorpio to mix up to 12 individual buses, all in a compact form factor that works equally well in an over-the-shoulder rig or a mobile environment. With an onboard engine that makes use of three FGPA circuits and six ARM processors, the Scorpio can handle complex routing schemes, pushing audio through its 64-bit engine to ensure a high-quality sound for your demanding, in-the-field needs.
Built-In Recording Storage
The Scorpio boasts a 256GB internal SSD for recording audio straight to the device, though two SD card slots are on hand for redundancy. Simultaneous recording is supported—though that, of course, might be redundant to say.
Timecode for Time Cops & Time Bandits Alike
The accurate, onboard timecode generator boasts its own battery to hold timecode for up to four hours after you power off the device.
