Sound Devices is showing its new Sound Devices Astral wireless products and its new A20-SuperNexus receiver and A20-Outpost system. The A20-SuperNexus receiver builds upon the features of the A20-Nexus and A20-Nexus Go receivers, by offering even more channels in a single wireless receiver than before. Designed for large productions, live events, international tours, festivals, and beyond, it has channel density – a base 16 channels that are expandable up to 32 channels of clean, reliable RF in just a 1U 19” rack unit. The A20-SuperNexus receiver is operable worldwide due to its unprecedented 169-1525 MHz global tuning range courtesy of Sound Devices’ category-defining SpectraBand Technology, and has built-in HexVersity (2-to-6-antenna diversity) for multiple antenna configurations. The A20-SuperNexus receiver also includes the new RF Mirror Mode for full redundant operation.

In addition, Sound Devices will also be showcasing the new A20-Outpost-NL that allows for remote-mounting NexLink antennae via Ethernet, and the A20-Opto expansion box, which adds native Optocore audio I/O to the A20-SuperNexus receiver for DiGiCo console interconnectivity. Sound Devices has started integration work with DiGiCo to put RF control directly into the workflow of audio engineers. With the addition of these products, the Astral series brings some of the most compact, full-featured wireless products to the market, for a wide range of live sound and touring applications.
