They’ll also talk about the new A20-Nexus 4-Channel Expansion Licenses, which increase the eight receiver channel count to 12 or 16. Paul and Gary will also demonstrate the AutoAssist function, just introduced with the recent v1.20 A20-Nexus software update. AutoAssist automatically scans the current tuning band for clean frequencies and assigns them to multiple channels. The clean frequencies are automatically pushed to NexLinked transmitters. 

This event will also include a moderated Q&A session at the end. You can submit any questions you have – before or during the live demo – and get them answered during the session.

We will also demo our 8-Series line, which includes Scorpio, 888, and 833 mixer-recorders. Designed specifically for sound professionals’ workflow, each 8-Series mixer-recorder has unprecedented recording power and a rugged, efficient interface.  

Also on display will be MixPre II Series audio mixers, suited for field audio, sound effects, film audio, or live music. With crystal-clear, ultra-low-noise Kashmir preamps, MixPre II mixers allow you to record multiple voices or audio for video with superior quality – all the way up to a 32-bit float bit depth and a 192 kHz sample rate.
