I just had the opportunity to see and touch a 744T yesterday here in
Paris, France at our SATIS which is the big national show for TV
Cinema and radio gear.
Unfortunately i had not the possibility to really use it but touching
it was possible (the cantar here is shown in a display cabinet)
I also had the opportunity to see the prototype of the new Sonosax 8
tracks recorder which is not bigger than an Ipod! There will be a
future version embedded in a portable mixer.
We waited for a long time for this kind of recorders and finally they
are on the market
The next step should be a recorder with the same number of mike inputs
as tracks and the same size and features of an eng mixer!

I sent Philippe a message because I'm not sure if this has any mic inputs (doesn't sound like it from his description), and is suppose to be used as a backup device, or what.

If this is true, I hope they'll release 2 and 4-channel flavors.

Simply for price, I'd agree.  But hell if it's just a box with digital inputs my dreams are answered.

*bump* Anyone have any more info on this?

[Ed.]

awesome...now hopefully its not a million bucks when it comes out.

*bump* Anyone have any more info on this?

I tried contacting the individual, but heard nothing back. Either he is ignoring me, or has too much email from people asking about it. But no word from Sonosax about it.

Since this was a prototype, it might be a while before a production unit hits the street.

I'll try e-mailing my contact at Sonosax. The guy I was working with to get my SX-M2/LS2 was pretty helpful and e-mailed me back the next day most of the time.

Sonosax MINIR82            ( Miniature Recorder )

Configurable from 2 to 8 tracks, this miniature recorder ( it fits in the pocket of a vest ) responds to the différent situations commonly found in mobile recording :

-  Stereo, with 2 microphones : in this situation, the sound engineer needs to have an equipment as small as possible.

- Stereo 2 micros + 2 lignes : e.g. an ambiance sound with a stereo mic and a dialogue with 2 wireless receivers connected to the 2 Line Input at fixed level.

-  Recording up to 8 tracks: in this situation, the sound engineer usually needs a mixing console digitally connected to a recorder. As the functionalities commonly offered by the mixer are already covering the needs of this situation, the Recorder can be used for his primary function, that is "Recording".

 Despite its reduced size -  only120 x 80 x 28 mm (4.75” x 3.15” x 1.1”) for a weight of approx. 450 gr (1/2 pound) with 4x AA batteries –  the MINIR82 achieves all these differents situations. The  MINIR82 includes two top quality microphone amplifiers with limiters and LF Cut,  2 Line inputs at fixed level and  8 AES/EBU Digital Inputs.

With Recording capabilities from 44,1kHz up to 192 kHz at 24bits, the storage is achieved on two separate medias: one 20 or 40GB hard disk and one CompactFlash card . The intuitive menu allows users to freely configurate tracks and media assignement. Of course, Time Code functionalities are availabe, all formats, including HDTV.

I bet this thing is going to be expensive! No mention of doing 16bit.

and about 3 inches shorter than an SD722

and is "configurate" a word?

and is "configurate" a word?

I wonder if they are going to make custom recorders They already to custom pre-amp.
