Eight high quality, non detent (smooth) endless encoders with selectable trim (gain) or volume fader functionality. Tailor made for 8-series recorders, designed and assembled by hand in Denmark.
User manual:
- Plug and power via 8-series USB A. No setup required.
- Long press any encoder to toggle between VOLUME or TRIM (gain) mode.
- LED will light either red (volume) or green (trim) for the mode.
- Short press an encoder to toggle PFL for the corresponding channel
Dimensions, weight L x W x H
156 x 24 x 28 (41 mm including knobs) mm
(will fit above XL-AES)
Enclosure material: Black carbon fiber PETG
Weight: 124 grams
Please note, when the controller is first plugged in or rebooted, volume changes will initially start from -inf, then be stored locally for normal operation. Trim changes will always start from their relative position stored in the mixer.
FAQ:
What’s the build quality like?
The enclosure and knobs are 3D
printed, which means the product will not look and feel like the expensive
anodized aluminum sound equipment we’re all used to. 3D printed objects can
and will have some very minor cosmetic imperfections. Some
hi-res photos have been taken, so please take a closer look and decide for yourself. The TF8
enclosure is made from carbon infused PETG which is strong, light weight,
heat/UV resistant and pretty good looking.
Will this work on my 6-series, 7-series, MixPre, etc ?
No, sorry – these units are only compatible with Sound Devices 8 series.
Can I use this with a CL12 for trims?
Yes, there’s a customized TRIM ONLY firmware available, that will allow users
to bank both channels 1-8 & 9-16. 833 and 888 don’t share the exact same
channel layout in the 8 series control protocol, so please write an email to simon@iddqd.dk if you wish to use the TF8 with an 833+4 / CL12 combo.
Connecting multiple controllers is possible with a hub. Please consult the 8
series manual regarding third party controller spill / individual mode to
determine if this will work with your use case.
How do I mount this thing in my bag?
The height of the unit is made so it can sit nicely above the XL-AES. I use
double sided tape. Every mixer configuration is different, so you will
probably have to get creative.
What if Sound Devices stop supporting third party controllers in a future
firmware?
Third party support is an awesome feature of the 8 series mixer range, Sound Devices even promote this and other third party products on their own homepage. (Thank you Sound Devices!!)
