Sound Devices' CL-12 Now Compatible With More Mixers

News Image
Sound Devices has increased support for its CL-12 Linear Fader Controller with the release of Firmware Version 2.11. The update enables compatibility with the company's 633 and 664 Field Production Mixers. Initially, the CL-12 was introduced for the 688 mixer/recorder, and is an optional accessory that features smooth-gliding 100mm linear faders. It is suitable for live mixing of multiple audio signals.

As well as CL-12 support, Firmware v2.11 offers new features for the 664 and 633 mixers/recorders, one of which is QR Codes for smartphone access to important online documentation, such as an Approved Media List and the User Guide for that product. It also offers a new User Bits mode that allows jamming of external timecode user bits.

With the CL-12, the 664 and 633 gain sunlight-viewable, 22-segment LED metering, plus 7-segment PFL metering with limiter activity. The CL-12 offers three user-programmable buttons, plus numerous dedicated back-lit buttons for quick access to key functionalities, such as metadata entry, transport controls, track arming and routing, to name but a few.

In addition, the 664 has a 54dB linear fader range across 12 linear faders, High Pass Filter control on channels 7-12, and Input Phase control on channels 2, 4, and 6. When attached to a CL-12, the 633 has a full 96dB linear fader range available across six linear faders, High Pass Filter control on all channels, and Input Phase control on channel 2.

The CL-12 includes two additional USB ports; one for a USB keyboard connection for efficient metadata entry, and one for powering an optional USB lamp.

The CL-12 is available in two models – the standard CL-12, with aluminium sides, and the CL-12 Alaia which features smooth-gliding Penny & Giles faders and custom hardwood side panels in either Blonde Maple or Red Mahogany. The side panels are handmade by Amish craftsmen at the Wisconsin-based J&E Custom Woodworks, located near Sound Devices' headquarters.

Matt Anderson, CEO, Sound Devices, said: "We are excited to announce this update for our loyal 633 and 664 users. The CL-12 can now efficiently expand the audio mixing capabilities of all 6-Series mixer/recorders. The minimal cabling also makes transitions from over-the-shoulder to cart-based setups quick and easy."
