Product Description
Sound Devices has made it easy to not only set commands on the A20-HH microphone remotely via NexLink, but also change the physical controls on the mic, simply by swapping out the A20-HH Control Ring, giving you maximum flexibility for your applications.
The interchangeable Sound Anchors A20-HH Control Ring comes in four models: A20-HH Control 0 (available here) with no external physical controls but a multicolor status/audio level LED; A20-HH Control 1 with one button and multicolor LED; A20-HH Control 3 with three buttons, each with multicolor status LED; and A20-HH Control Switch with a latching side switch and a six-segment multicolor LED bar. Each ring has a different set of available commands that can be configured in the A20-HH Settings menu, such as on/off, mute, none, record, power, RF on/off, etc.
Among the assignable commands is Aux audio routing, which can be used to activate talkback mode. The command can instruct a Sound Devices Astral receiver to reroute audio to a different output. That means an onstage musician can push a button and request the monitor engineer make a change, or a sports broadcaster can slide the control switch and automatically communicate with a producer located remotely in a broadcast truck – all without lag time or needing a separate, expensive microphone.
A20-HH ASTRAL DIGITAL HANDHELD WIRELESS TRANSMITTER
The Sound Devices A20-HH Astral is the most capable, and best sounding handheld microphone that money can buy. Whether it’s a packed house on opening night or a long tour on the open road, you can always find open frequencies, because it can tune to more spectrum than any other handheld. Its fast setup saves time, and its rugged durability is built for the rigors of touring, yet the A20-HH microphone is easy to decorate, changing aesthetics for concerts, live events, theater, houses of worship, cruises, corporate events, and beyond. You’ll want to get your hands on this handheld.
