Fader Knobs Glow-In-The-Dark / 2-Color for 8-Series

Last updated

Made By: Bioluminous.

We have worked with production sound mixers from all around the world to design and perfect a set of fader knobs for Sound Devices recorders. The stock factory knobs are sharp to the touch and hard to see in dark conditions or in a bag. These knobs are designed to feel very nice on the fingers with smooth, sculpted edges. And easy to see because they glow after exposure to light.

Large fader knobs sit 1.5mm higher than the factory knob for easier access. Small fader knobs sit approximately 4mm higher than the stock knob and do not retract flush like the stock one does. All knobs feature a main color along with a phosphorescent white section that glows green when exposed to light (we recommend using a small keychain UV LED to charge the glow for the best effect). After exposure, the knobs will glow for a while.

Will fit many models (please contact us if you have a model not listed in the title).

  • Battery remaining run time displayed
  • Battery charge percentage shown
  • Battery cycles and depletion percentage shown in startup
  • Smart battery data passed on to your mixer
  • Main switch controls all outputs with a sub switch also controlling half of the outputs
  • Nine Hirose outputs and one TA4 flying lead output

Control Surface

Last updated

Made By: Location Sound London.

Probably the smallest 8 channels control surface for location sound.

It is lightweight, small, reliable and it fits in the sound bag.

Ideal for those situations when slide faders feel more precise than rotative potentiometers.

  • Compact control surface for Sound Devices 8xx recorders.
  • Plugs into the USB port of your recorder via USB-C cable (provided).
  • The internal PCB and anti-dirt curtains ensure great operational reliability.
  • Dimensions: 9x7x2.5 cm
