Ideal for fast turnaround productions where there is no time for post, live broadcast and streaming, preview on set, feeds to video village, IFB feeds, rough guide mixes, and more, the Sound Devices NoiseAssist Plug-In for Scorpio Recorder is used to suppress unwanted background noise instantly on location. Featuring an advanced signal-processing algorithm, the plug-in reduces noises such as traffic, generators, HVAC noise, and more, while preserving dialog clarity.

This version of NoiseAssist provides 4 instances. You can upgrade from 4 instances to 8 instances of NoiseAssist. The maximum instances you can run on one single Scorpio/serial number is 8.

Suppress Background Noise Instantly    For Scorpio Recorder    4 Instances

• An instance is a single occurrence of NoiseAssist. You can set an instance of NoiseAssist to run in one place on your Scorpio.
• You can set NoiseAssist to run in eight places (8 Instances) on your Scorpio—any eight channels, eight buses, or a combination of channels and buses.
• You cannot have NoiseAssist for Scorpio running on more than a total of eight instances whether applied to channels, buses, or a combination of both.
• NoiseAssist can be used at sample rates 48.048 kHz and less, and at 24 or 32-bit float bit depth.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this thing still get super hot?

A: The Sound Devices 833 8-Channel / 12-Track Multitrack Field Recorder uses powerful FPGA chips within its heat-sink frame and is subject to heat with use, especially in warm environments.

Q: 2. Mackie control universal

A: Scorpio can by controlled from the Sound Devices CL-12 linear fader controller or supported third-party external controllers that conform to the MCU protocol.

Q: 3. what does 32-Bit (A/D Conversion) mean on the spec list, does it mean If I want to record 32-bit, I will need to connect it to computer?

A: The 32-bit specification refers to the amount of audio information the Sound Devices 833 8-Channel / 12-Track Multitrack Field Recorder is capable of capturing while recording in reference to bit depth. 32-bit recording captures more information mainly due to its floating-point format versus traditional fixed-point bit depths of 16 and 24 bit. This, in essence, allows for a much wider dynamic range to be captured and makes it hard to record clipped or distorted signals. Sound Devices publishes a useful article on their site that explains this in depth and can be found here: https://bit.ly/3SGcsE5

Q: 4. Can the SSD and the SD cards be set individually to record at different rates simultaneously?

A: The Sound Devices 833 8-Channel / 12-Track Multitrack Field Recorder allows customized track routing and simultaneous recording to internal SSD and two SD cards, but it appears that all files must use the same sample rate and bit depth settings regardless of destination.

Q: 5. if I want to use a Shure SM7B with this recorder, do I need to use a cloud lifter with it?

A: The microphone inputs on the Sound Devices 833 Multitrack Field Recorder provide up to +76 dB of gain which is sufficient for use with the Shure SM7b Vocal Microphone, so a Cloud Lifter is not needed.

Q: 6. Is there a controller*Cl8 or Cl9*for Scorpio? Like 788T

A: There is a whole list of third party controllers that you can use, I like the most the iCON Platform M+ (with the D2 display), which is what I personally use myself. But if I could afford it, I would buy the Sound Devices CL16

Q: 7. Is there dugan automix or mix assist function?

A: Scorpio is powerful and flexible enough to accommodate both MixAssist and Dugan Automatic Mixing. These features will be available in a future firmware release.

Q: 8. Is there a plug in to record MP3 for transcription

A: No, there is no plug-in to record MP3 on the Sound Devices 833 Field Recorder. The 833 records audio in WAV format.

Q: 9. Can this bag be configured to house the Zoom F6?

A: The ORCA OR-332 Audio Mixer Bag for Sound Devices Scorpio, 888, and 688 would not be recommended for the Zoom F6. From Orca, the recommended bag would be the OR-268 (B&H # OR268). The K-Tek KSF6 (B&H #KTKSF6) would also be a good choice.

Q: 10. Does the 32-bit on the 833 have the same 142db DR as the 32-bit-float of the Mix Pre's?

A: For the 833: 32-bit, 120 dB, A-weighted dynamic range typical For the MixPre-Series II: 32 bit precision; 142 dB dynamic range min (A weighted, gain = 10 dB, fader = 0 dB)
