The PortaBrace AR-833 Case for Sound Devices 833 Recorderis a durable audio bag custom-fit to carry and protect your valuable Sound Devices 833 recorder when working in the field. It features an exterior constructed of abrasion-resistant, 1000-denier Cordura Nylon, rigid frame panels, and interior foam padding that helps absorb shocks and protect your equipment from bumps and scratches.

The AR-833 is equipped with a removable, clear vinyl cover which provides an unobstructed view of the recorder's screen, while shielding it from rain or splashing. Two side openings enable you to fully access all inputs/outputs and memory card slots. The openings' hook-and-loop fasteners provide a tight seal to further protect the 833 against water, dust, and debris.

The bag can hold up to four wireless transmitters, two in the side pockets and two clipped on the MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) strips along the front panel. The AR-833 comes with the HB-15 Nylon shoulder strap and RM-MULTIB wireless mic storage pouch.

Q: 2. Will this bag fit a MixPre 10T that has two L-ion battery's attached?

Q: 4. what does 32-Bit (A/D Conversion) mean on the spec list, does it mean If I want to record 32-bit, I will need to connect it to computer?

A: The 32-bit specification refers to the amount of audio information the Sound Devices 833 8-Channel / 12-Track Multitrack Field Recorder is capable of capturing while recording in reference to bit depth. 32-bit recording captures more information mainly due to its floating-point format versus traditional fixed-point bit depths of 16 and 24 bit. This, in essence, allows for a much wider dynamic range to be captured and makes it hard to record clipped or distorted signals. Sound Devices publishes a useful article on their site that explains this in depth and can be found here: https://bit.ly/3SGcsE5

Q: 5. Can the SSD and the SD cards be set individually to record at different rates simultaneously?

A: The Sound Devices 833 8-Channel / 12-Track Multitrack Field Recorder allows customized track routing and simultaneous recording to internal SSD and two SD cards, but it appears that all files must use the same sample rate and bit depth settings regardless of destination.
