PLASA 2024 – Sound Devices Showcases Expanded Astral Wireless Series

Experience the future of RF with Sound Devices’ best-in-class family of wireless receivers and transmitters

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, August 30, 2024 — Sound Devices will make its debut appearance at the 2024 PLASA Show at Olympia London in London, UK. The company will showcase its entire range of Sound Devices Astral^® wireless products including the recently released A20-SuperNexus receiver and the new A20-Outpost system. Sound Devices will be located at stand J10 from September 1-3. For more information, please click here.

The A20-SuperNexus receiver builds upon the industry-first features of the A20-Nexus and A20-Nexus Go receivers, by offering even more channels, flexibility, and versatility in a single wireless receiver than ever before. Ideal for large productions, live events, international tours, festivals, and beyond, it has unmatched channel density – a base 16 channels that are expandable up to 32 channels of clean, reliable RF in just a 1U 19” rack unit. The A20-SuperNexus receiver is operable worldwide due to its unprecedented 169-1525 MHz global tuning range courtesy of Sound Devices’ category-defining SpectraBand Technology, and has built-in HexVersity^Ⓡ (2-to-6-antenna diversity) for multiple antenna configurations. The A20-SuperNexus receiver also includes the new RF Mirror Mode for full redundant operation.

In addition, Sound Devices will also be showcasing the new A20-Outpost-NL that allows for remote-mounting NexLink^Ⓡ antennae via Ethernet, and the A20-Opto expansion box, which adds native Optocore audio I/O to the A20-SuperNexus receiver for DiGiCo console interconnectivity. Sound Devices has started integration work with DiGiCo to put RF control directly into the workflow of audio engineers. With the addition of these products, the Astral series brings some of the most compact, full-featured wireless products to the market, for a wide range of live sound and touring applications.

“We’re incredibly pleased for the opportunity to showcase the Astral family to European professionals for our first ever appearance at the PLASA Show,” said Sound Devices Vice President of Sales Andy “Baggy” Robinson. “Astral represents years of innovation and development in wireless technology paired with decades of experience in developing compact, reliable sound equipment for the location sound market. Combined, we believe that makes Astral a compelling prospect for live sound professionals looking for features and functionality that push beyond what is currently available and into the next generation of high-end wireless technology.”

The Astral system is nominated for a PLASA Innovation award and will be on display in the Innovation Gallery at the PLASA Show, as well as in Sound Devices’ booth, J10.
