Sound Devices A20-Nexus 12- and 16-channel options now available

Last autumn, Sound Devices released the A20-Nexus true diversity wireless receiver, which provides 8 channels in a half-rack unit. The company has now introduced a 4-Channel Expansion License that enables users to increase the channel count to 12 or 16 with the purchase or rental of two licenses.

For an additional four receiver channels, a perpetual license can be purchased for $2,500 USD. By purchasing a single 4-Channel Expansion License, the A20-Nexus can be expanded to 12 channels, while purchasing a second license allows the receiver to reach its maximum 16-channel capacity.

As far as rental options, Sound Devices is offering one option for 7 days of an additional four receiver channels at the cost of $250 USD, and one option for 30 days of four channels at $850 USD.

“These rental licenses are perfect for sound mixers who want to temporarily increase their receiver channel counts,” says Sound Devices Director of Product Design, Paul Isaacs. “If there’s a particular gig where you need more than the eight channels you use every day on your A20-Nexus, you can get an additional four or eight channels for the run of the show and then go back to your usual channel count. You get maximum convenience without committing to a long-term upgrade.”

Rental versions of the A20-Nexus 4-Channel Expansion Licenses are only available via Sound Devices’ online store, while permanent licenses can be purchased both online and from the brand's dealers and distributors.
