The 788T is designed specifically for multi-track, on-location productions and features a significant expansion of input and output capability — eight full-featured microphone inputs and twelve tracks of recording – all in a design that’s compact and lightweight.

To accommodate the larger data storage requirements of multi-track recordings, the 788T comes equipped with a 160 GB 2.5-in. internal SATA hard disk drive. This on-board storage provides up to 30 hours of 8-track, uncompressed 24-bit audio recording of industry-standard Broadcast Wave files.

“Sound Devices is pleased to be named the winner of CAS’ Technical Award for the 788T,” says Sound Devices Managing Director Jon Tatooles who received the award on behalf of Sound Devices. “CAS bestowed this honor on us in 2006 for our 744T recorder. We plan to continue to create award-winning audio products that are specifically designed for field and on-location production.”
