Deva Hard Disk Recorder

The Deva is a hard disk based audio recorder. The original Deva was a 4-track model that began its use on television and film in 1999. Recording onto a hard disk revolutionized the way sound is recorded, in 2003 Glenn Sanders and Howy Stark of Zaxcom received a Scientific and Engineering Academy Award for the Deva II.

2004 welcomes two new Deva's to Zaxcom's product line. Because of our background with the Deva II and open communication with our customers we are able to offer features and capabilities far ahead of any competing manufacturer.
