Why Sound Devices Astral?
Sound Devices has a longstanding reputation for quality and innovation in the world of professional radio equipment. Known for its rugged durability, intuitive design, and superior sound fidelity, Sound Devices’ radio equipment has become a staple for audio professionals across the film and TV industries. The Astral Series takes this commitment to excellence a step further specifically for live performances, with innovations such as the proprietary remote-control protocol enabling the technicians to retune transmitters remotely without having to interrupt the artist's performance. The transmitters come with a built-in 32-bit float, 48 kHz recorder with removable micro-SD card enabling live capture of the audio at source.
The Astral RF Series is crafted for professionals who demand uncompromising sound quality. Engineered to adapt seamlessly across diverse audio scenarios, this series of wireless receivers offer exceptional versatility and reliability for both live and studio environments. Whether capturing a live concert, mixing audio for film production, or managing intricate multi-channel projects.
What Makes the Astral Series Stand Out?
The Sound Devices Astral Series stands out due to its highly advanced features that cater to both seasoned and emerging audio professionals. Here’s a look at some of the standout features that make Astral an essential choice for any production:
- Superior Audio Quality
Astral is renowned for delivering crystal-clear audio with an exceptionally low noise floor. Built with high-performance preamps and pristine analog-to-digital converters, the Astral Series ensures every nuance of sound is captured accurately, making it ideal for productions where every detail counts. - Flexible Recording Options
The Astral Series offers extensive recording capabilities, with support for multi-track recording and high bit-depth audio formats. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for various applications, from live sound reinforcement to complex post-production setups. - Network Connectivity
A key feature that sets the Astral Series apart is its seamless network connectivity. With full integration into Dante and other IP-based audio networks, Astral allows for flexible routing and remote control options, making it easy to manage even the most elaborate audio setups. This capability is invaluable for productions that require fast-paced, real-time adjustments. - User-Friendly Interface
Designed with a user-centric approach, the Astral Series has an intuitive interface that simplifies setup and operation. The high-resolution touchscreen and well-organised menu make it easy to adjust settings, view levels, and monitor recording parameters at a glance. This ease of use is crucial for live sound environments where there’s little room for error. - Durability and Portability
In live sound and remote production scenarios, durability is a must. Sound Devices has designed the Astral Series to be road-ready, with a rugged build that withstands the rigours of frequent transport and setup. Coupled with its compact design, Astral is easy to integrate into any production setup, whether in the studio or on the go.
