still no mention of audio features. Im wondering what the audio board includes, is it 24bit, 16bit etc?

True, we haven't - what would you like it to be ?

ok, 24bit,48khz, phantom powering, a soft/hard limiter, nice bright meters with clear readouts for -12,-20, and 0. XLR Plugs, clean noiseless preamps.

thanks

They did say something like two (uncompressed?) channels with balanced inputs or something like that a few months ago, didn't they?

maybe, but uncompressed could mean 16bit/48khz which is the standard.
But Red revolution can do better than that and set a new standard in audio too.
 
4 channels/ 4 inputs would be nice. It seems like there is room on the I/O module for this.
 
How about a digital input option on the XLR's?. Dual channel AES/EBU for mixer inputs, switchable to single channel AES42 for direct digital mics with phantom power and word clock sync. 24/96 encoding.

I dream.

Everything killfilm said and at least the bolded portion of what David Rasberry said.
 
Guess what i think would be cool option too?

USB audio input - one could use any USB audio preamp, USB mic, or even USB mixers...

I would go with that as well. I think there absolutely should be a way to get digital audio inside, whether it's directly with AES/EBU, SPDF, or USB, although the latter would still require a unique driver somewhere in the pipeline to communicate with USB audio interfaces.
 
nice suggestions guys, but i think we're pretty much requesting a Digital Audio Recorder here. I think the most important parts will be: XLR Plugs, phantom powering, 24bit 48khz (dynamic range is more important than sampling frequency), and above all are top notch preamps. If these are not present, then everything else doesnt matter.

I've used the 702T recorder and just ordered the H4N which are both 24bit recorders. I believe this is a chance for Red to be the first to offer on board 24bit recording and it should be possible.

BTW, sampling frequency would be more critical in music recording which is often recorded seperately. Most of the Scarlet's audio uses will be for dialogue recording and 24bit 48khz has become the standard.
