What is The WaveT’p?

The Wave T'p is a rugged mobile high resolution multi-track–recorder in a shock mounted frame, built to military specs and fully mil-spec. The very high quality Delta-Sigma A/D and D/A converters make it suitable for audiophile concert productions. Motion picture location sound and post mixing specs are exceeded by a great margin. 

The WaveT’p is identical in regard to the audio specs with the Wave’Bx with the difference that it is 35 % lighter and has a smaller footprint.

In addition, The Wave T'p is fully waterproof as long as all connection bay covers are closed. The Wave T'p has a Touch Screen; Sun-light Readable. (Transflective LCD 800x600 SVGA available in 12.1" only)

It also comes with 2 additional options:

LED Back-Light & A Rubber Keyboard
 

How does it fit into Motion Picture Location Sound recording?

Multi-track recording requests for TV and Movies have been on the rise. As a result, many companies have developed portable multi-track recorders you can hang around your neck. Because of their size and portability requirements they are lacking the ergonomic facilities. Setups are cumbersome and all are lacking automatic sound-reporting. Most machines have lower audio-specs in multi-track mode. To find the time to do a proper multi-track sound report is difficult while you are on the set thinking about mic-placements. And will the post– techs understand your notes?

Since the audio specs of the Wave’Tp and WaveB’x exceed today’s motion picture specs by  multiples this will probably be the last recorder you will have buy in your lifetime.

Common Use and Economics:

The WaveT’p is designed for multi-tracking and should be used on the movie set in a dual machine setup. But because its reliability  the Wave T'p could be also used as a stand-alone machine. In order to keep the price affordable and to protect your investments in high quality mic-preamps and analog sound mixers, we provide you with analog input line ins.

How do I set up the WaveT’p?

Every mic on your analog mixing board is routed pre-fader out to a separate track in addition to your regular mix also on separate tracks.

Will it effect the way I work?

No. You set your mics–pre fader level to the proper value like you normally do and forget about it. At 24 or 32 bit float resolution the WaveT’p has a higher headroom then most mixing boards. Since you are going prefader out, you keep mixing with your faders like you normally do. As a added benefit you can see your pre-fader levels on the screen, basically acting as a input meter bridge for your analog–mixer.

What do I deliver to Post?

Cd, Dvd-Ram, Nagra V-harddisk or Usb-stick.

For dailies you hand in a Dvd-Ram.

For sound editing and post conforming you hand in once a week or every 2^nd week a removable 60 - 80 GB Ide (Nagra V-style) harddrive which can be connected directly  via Usb – port  to any other workstation.
