From what I read on the prelims on the site, all 8ch have phantom up to 10mV. The other big ass thing for me is USB! Actually, there are too many positives to this box if you ask me.

The fact sheet says sampling rates up to 48kHz only....not that big of a deal I suppose, just pointing it out.

Run times on the currently available batteries will be the interesting thing.  Seems to me you'll need plug in power or a festie power setup.

good point. 8 channels of phantom power + 8 pre-amps + 8 a/d + keeping a hard drive spinning = LOTS OF JUICE. then again maybe that's a good thing. now I can finally sell those SLA batteries I don't use any more.  ;D

I just talked to him. On his way to Chitown Panic. Looks like he is in for one.  :P


Edit:


When do they start shipping? Did SD mention anything about that on the phone?

if you look at the pdf info file, the picture of the front shows a battery meter that says 12.7 V.  looks like they are using a new battery system for the 8 ch setup.  with new advancements in batteries (our new power tools have 24V batteries and some have 18V lightweight exotic batteries), i don't think powering this thing will be a problem.  there are solutions out there...

Looking at the specs, the surprising thing is it is only about 2 inches longer and deeper than the 722/744.   That's packing a lot more stuff in a not much bigger box!

I need to remind myself that I'm unemployed right now.....

I done did called SD today out of sheer excitement. They guy said dealer demos will go out in a week the units will start shipping at the end of May, and should be about $5995.


Are there any slutty people going to NAB that can check this thing out?? Being an SD product, I am sure its going to be top notch. I'd make a trip to Vegas myself, but I am departing on a long planned trip to Paris on the 15th. I'd love to hear first impressions.

I have been waiting to see the SD response to the Nagra VI and the SonoSax SX-R4.  It seems they have completely overwhelmed these two competitors.  But, at a higher price by ~USD1500.  They offer much more for that dollar difference.  And we all know the quality that SD has.  It will be a while, and a long one, before I spring for one, but I am interested to see how they do in the field.

I think I just soiled my pants..


Anyone want to buy my SD702?

Think I'll hold on to the 744 for stealth reasons.
