We are currently updating this page with information as we receive it – please download the 8-page PDF data sheet from the link further down the page which contains all the info and specs. There is an additional Dimension sheet which gives the dimensions and size options of the console.
Sound-Link now has a working demonstration unit comprising of four channel strips – this is available for potential customers to try out and evaluate for themselves.
The production consoles will be bespoke, individually built to order, and can be specifiled with 0 to 64 channel strips, giving up to 136 inputs at mixdown. It can grow with you and extra 8-channel sections can ber ordered at a later date and the console easily expanded as your studio grows. It’s easy to connect the extra section yourself and there is no need to send the console back to the manufacturer to do this. You can even split – a 32 input console can easily be split to make two 16 input consoles by purchasing a master section for the second console. It’s extremely flexible.
