Sound Devices Scorpio — 32-Channel / 36-Track Flagship Mixer-Recorder
Scorpio is the flagship of Sound Devices' 8-Series and the most powerful mixer-recorder the company has ever built. With 16 mic/line preamplifiers, 32 channels of Dante I/O, 12 analog outputs, AES I/O, and a fully-routable matrix, Scorpio handles any production scenario — from over-the-shoulder bag work to large-scale cart productions. Award-winning since launch (CAS, AMPS, IBC, Resolution Magazine).
Key Features
- 16 mic/line preamplifiers — Sound Devices' best-ever preamp design with the lowest noise floor in the company's history
- 32 channels, 36 tracks of recording (32 ISOs + L/R + 2 armable bus tracks)
- 32x32 Dante / AES67 I/O over Ethernet — the most network audio of any portable mixer-recorder
- 12 analog outputs plus AES3/AES42 in/out (XLR inputs 1 and 6)
- 12 fully-mixable buses with independent routing
- FPGA-based audio engine — 3 FPGAs + 6 ARM processors, 64-bit signal path
- Triple-redundant recording — internal 256 GB SSD plus 2x SD cards, all simultaneous, with independent file format per media
- Per-channel processing on channels 1–16 — 3-band EQ (pre/post), high-pass filter, delay, polarity, compressor (pre/post), limiter (pre/post), stereo or MS linking
- Dugan Automix and MixAssist — up to 16 channels in two independent groups
- +48 V phantom power, full 10 mA per channel on all 16 mic preamps
- Optional NoiseAssist plugin (2/4/8 instances) and CEDAR sdnx noise suppression (up to 96 kHz)
- Ultra-accurate timecode — 0.1 ppm, holds TC up to 4 hours after shutdown
- SuperSlot via SL-2 / SL-6, A20-Nexus multichannel receiver, XL-AES 8-channel AES3 expander
- Bluetooth LE for SD-Remote app control (Android/iOS) — transport, metering, sound reports, channel control
- Control surface support: dedicated CL-16, legacy CL-12, MCU-protocol USB surfaces (Behringer X-Touch, iCON Platform M+/X+/B+)
- Two Scorpios can be linked over Dante for up to 32 ISOs + 4 buses recorded on a single unit
- Powering: dual L-Mount Li-ion (with charging), Smart Battery, NP-1, or 10–18 V external DC on locking TA4
