Sound Devices has announced that 12- and 16-channel options are now available for the recently introduced A20-Nexus true diversity wireless receiver that provides a 470 to 1525 MHz tuning range with SpectraBand, remote control of transmitters via NexLink, real time spectrum analysis, and a eight channels in a half-rack unit.
The added options are available via the new A20-Nexus 4-Channel Expansion Licenses that are now available for purchase or for rent. The purchased software licenses are a good fit for productions that consistently need the higher channel counts in a compact footprint without additional hardware. The perpetual license is available for $2,500 USD for an additional four receiver channels. By purchasing a single license, the A20-Nexus can be increased to 12 channels, and a second license purchase expands the A20-Nexus receiver to its maximum 16-channel capacity.
Sound Devices is also offering rental options for the additional channels: one option for seven days of an additional four receiver channels at the cost of $250 USD, and another option for 30 days of four channels at $850 USD.
“These rental licenses are perfect for sound mixers who want to temporarily increase their receiver channel counts,” says Sound Devices director of product Paul Isaacs. “If there’s a particular gig where you need more than the eight channels you use every day on your A20-Nexus, you can get an additional four or eight channels for the run of the show and then go back to your usual channel count. You get maximum convenience without committing to a long-term upgrade.”
The rental versions of the A20-Nexus 4-Channel Expansion Licenses are only available via Sound Devices’ online store. The permanent licenses can be purchased both in the online store and through Sound Devices approved resellers and distributors.
