Sound Devices 552

Description

Developed with insight from the industry’s top audio engineers, the 552 Field Mixer encompasses the audio performance, feature set, and mechanical construction demanded by those who rely on audio gear.

The 552 contains five high-performance microphone preamplifiers, multiple outputs including AES outputs, comprehensive monitoring, and a high-quality built-in audio recorder. Its input and output flexibility, including pre- or post- fade direct outputs on each channel, make the 552 at home in small “run-and-gun” applications as well as large, multiple input productions.

The 552 features are accessible from the three main surfaces. The Setup Menu can be accessed at anytime to make changes to various parameters. With a two-track recorder on-board, sound mixers can rest assured that audio is being recorded lo- cally. The 552 records polyphonic Broadcast Wave or MP3 files to removable, Secure Digital (SD) or Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) cards.

The 552, like all Sound Devices professional audio products, is designed to withstand the physical and environmental extremes inherent to field production. Its compact construction strikes the perfect balance between performance, accessible controls, and durability.
