Sound Devices 688 12-Input Field Mixer/Recorder


Sound Devices 688 contains six microphone preamplifiers that re-define portable audio performance. With its comprehensive inputs and extensive outputs, including direct outputs per channel, the 688 is at home in small run-and-gun applications as well as large, multiple-input productions. The 688 incorporates a complete feature-set into a compact, functional design. All controls are accessible on its three main surfaces; no hidden controls. The high-efficiency power circuitry runs the mixer from either four internal AA batteries or external 5–18 VDC."
