Sound Devices Scorpio

Properties:

The Scorpio is a portable premium audio mixer/recorder with 32 channels and 36 tracks. It has 16 preamps, 32 Dante I/O channels via ethernet, 12 buses and 12 analog outputs. The Scorpio has one limiter per channel, bus and headphone and can record audio as 64-bit WAV (RF64) at up to 192 kHz simultaneously on the internal 256 GB SSD and both SD cards. USB-A can be used to connect a keyboard, an external controller or an external USB hub. Via USB-C, the recorded files can be transferred from the SSD and both SD cards. The mixer is powered with 10 - 18 V DC via two Sony NP-F batteries (L series) or two TA4 inputs. The optional Andoid Companion App SD-Remote can be used to add a touchscreen display and remote control the mixer.
