Sound Devices field production equipment can be summed as; portable, durable, valuable, and affordable. Their field production equipment is the perfect solution for an academic environment and student filmmakers. The size, versatility, and easy to use Sound Devices 702T and 302 mixer deliver high quality and manageability in location sound recording among student filmmakers.
We've been surprised by the excellent performance we've gotten from the 702T and the mixer. Both are light yet rugged. It's great to have the sound files on a flash card because it makes it so easy to bring them into our Avid stations.
In all, the 702T's have been remarkably bulletproof . . . and also very easy to use. They're simple to navigate . . . they're very intuitive and easy to figure out, once you crack their 'code'. Students don't often take the time to read the manual (who does these days, right?), but with a very quick tutorial and just a few minutes of hands-on, they're able to go out and record like pros, right out of the box.
The Sound Devices [products] really meet our curricular needs, we can build a foundation for field recording using the 722 and move up to the 744T for location sound. We are now able to focus more on recording and mixing concepts rather than gear.
The sound quality, workmanship and value of the Sound Devices products are exceptional. They worked closely with us to provide the equipment that integrated best with our program.
I've been recording production sound for over thirty years. I was a total Nagra guy. When digital recorders came along, they all had variations on three themes: They sounded bad, they were undependable, and/or they were a drag to use. Sound Devices has solved all three of these issues. Their recorders are the first ones that I feel totally at ease with, We have many of them here at CalArts, and our students have almost no problems using them. Sound Devices has made my life easier, both as a freelancer and as an educator.
We have found that Sound Devices products are a great option for putting professional digital sound recorders into the hands of our students. They provide excellent quality in a rugged package that holds up well on location.
Sound Devices products are the right tools to incorporate into your program. By learning on the same equipment used by professionals, students are assured of gaining best-practice knowledge of sound and production techniques. Since its inception the company's sole focus is designing and building the world’s best portable audio products.
