The PIX-E series of recorders from Sound Devices have proven to be very popular, and at their booth this year, Paul Isaacs talked to me about the next evolution in the line.
The PIX-LR is an accessory designed to work with the rest of the PIX-E models (PIX-E5, PIX-E5H, PIX-E7) and provides two XLR inputs and two XLR outputs. It is a convenient screw-on attachment that can be mounted to the bottom panel of any of the PIX-E recorders, and also draws power from the attached monitor. Its front panel features track-level meter LEDs for channels 1 and 2, as well as large transport controls for Stop, Rewind, Play, Fast Forward, and Record. Watch my video above to get a closer look at the PIX-LR.
