Sound Devices Astral Mini Digital Wireless Bodypack Transmitter and Recorder, 470-1525MHz

Tiny Digital Wireless Bodypack Transmitter with GainForward and SpectraBand
Sound Devices' first miniature transmitter incorporates state-of-the-art features such as full remote control via the Astral Remote app and NexLink, long range modulation, GainForward Architecture, Spectra Band's 470 MHz - 1525 MHz tuning range, internal 32-bit float recording, and more. The Astral Mini is fully compatible with the Astral ARX2 and the A10-RX.

Longest range.
The A10/ARX Wireless System delivers the longest transmission distance of any system on the market. The state-of-the-art, 100% digital long-range modulation offers the same great audio quality (10 Hz - 20 kHz) as our Standard modulation scheme with a longer range for both line-of-sight and heavy multipath transmission.

Note: When comparing systems with same transmit power, same antennas, and same transmission frequency

SpectraBand.
SpectraBand technology delivers a tuning range of 470 - 1525 MHz in a single unit - an industry first. Experience ultimate flexibility as you find open spectrum away from the crowded UHF TV band.

GainForward.
With the Mini's GainForward Architecture, easily set the Mini's gain, low-cut, and limiter directly on your 8-Series. This immediate, local control of gain allows quick adaptation to changing volume levels and saves time during production.

Group remote control.
All transmitters can be powered up and down simultaneously or made to start and stop recording with a single tap from your smartphone or tablet. Use Astral Remote to create custom groups with selected transmitters or use the default all-transmitter group. You can also use groups to change RF Power, Mode, Modulation, Mute Mic, Format Media, and LED settings on multiple Astral Mini at once. The Astral Mini's high-efficiency internal 2.4 GHz antenna ensures excellent Bluetooth range.

32-bit float recording.
The Astral Mini records in 32-bit float for an astounding >130 dB of dynamic range. This allows for audio gain decisions to be made after recording, with zero loss in headroom or noise performance.

Built-in 64 GB media.
No more SD card management - the ample-sized media stores more than 80 hours of continuous, uncompressed 32-bit float recording. Simply offload the recorded WAV files via the high-speed USB-C port to a computer.

Sleek and small.
The Astral Mini digital wireless transmitter combines legendary British audio quality with the best of American design. The sleek, rounded form fits perfectly into body contours and underneath tight clothing.

Never lose time.
The Mini's ultra-accurate 0.2 ppm internal timecode generator can be jammed via USB-C, or wirelessly via NexLink, with negligible drift over a 24-hour period.

Power away.
Use off-the-shelf rechargeable or AAA batteries - no adapter needed. 3 AAA batteries or a rechargeable Sony NP-BX1 give you the ultimate in powering flexibility. You can even recharge the NP-BX1 via the Mini's USB-C.

Water-resistant.
With its extensive gasketing and waterproof connectors, the Astral Mini can easily withstand water and sweat.

PowerStation-8M
Optional accessory provides easy battery charging, file transfer, and timecode jamming of up to eight Astral Mini at a time. Powered via DC (TA4) or USB-C (USB-PD).
