Sound Devices 788T - Manual (Page 128)

CL-8 Controller (optional)
The CL-8 Controller is an optional control surface for the 788T Digital Recorder that signifi cantly ex-
pands its mixing capability and overall usability. Its ergonomic design allows one-handed operation
of many of its functions, freeing the Sound Mixer to control other equipment.
Its large rotary style faders provide the Sound Mixer with precise control of gain levels sent to the
Master Left/Right mix tracks, which can be recorded. The 788T’s Front Panel Input Gain Pots control
the level for the Iso tracks and pre-fade aux tracks.
The Sound mixer can quickly make changes to input settings with the CL-8, including input-to-track
routing, high-pass fi lter, limiter, and input polarity. It displays input activity and can Solo any input.
The CL-8 has a dedicated button for Slate Mic activity. Additionally, the USB Keyboard pass-through
port permits keyboards to be attached for metadata entry and remote control.
CL-8 Connection
The CL-8 connects to the 788T via the USB Keyboard Input on the 788T’s back panel. The 788T con-
nects and powers the CL-8 via USB, no other powering source is required. Immediately after con-
necting the CL-8 it will search and update accordingly to the 788T’s latest version of fi rmware.
The following warning screen will appear should the CL-8 be disconnected during operation.
The 788T will retain all CL-8 settings until further action is taken. If the CL-8 is reconnected the 788T
will immediately return to the screen viewed prior to the disconnection. All settings will remain the
