At IBC 2015, Sound Devices unveiled the CL-12 Linear Fader Controller, an optional accessory designed to meet the growing demand from production professionals working in cart-based setups or those who need quick transitions between cart and over-the-shoulder applications.
Mixing Capabilities Extended
The CL-12 features 12 100 mm linear faders ideal for live mixing of multiple audio signals. The accessory comes in two models: the standard CL-12 and the CL-12 Alaia, which boasts smooth-gliding Penny & Giles faders and custom hardwood side panels offered in either Curly Maple or Mahogany.
Key Features
- Sunlight-viewable LED metering
- Dedicated buttons for quick access to key functionality
- 3-band parametric equalizer for each of the 12 inputs
- Able to monitor audio directly from the CL-12's headphone port
The CL-12 also includes ports for a USB keyboard connection, remote control via third-party applications, and powering an optional USB lamp.

The CL-12 is scheduled to ship late October 2015. It will be compatible with the 688 Mixer/Recorder upon shipping, and future support for both the 664 and 633 products will follow.
