CD-R/RW MASTER RECORDER CR500 (Playback/Locate)

Assigning audio data to a memory

The description below assumes that a BWF formatted disc on which more than one WAV file is recorded is loaded, however, it is basically also applicable to a CD-DA formatted disc.

1)Press the [PLAY MODE/ PROGRAM SET ] key until the MEMORY PLAY mode is selected.

The display shows the Home screen of the MEMORY PLAY mode. All memory banks (1 through 10) are empty by default.

You can also select the MEMORY PLAY mode to bring up this screen using the "Play Mode" item of the "PLAY SETUP" menu in the MENU mode (see page 81).

By default, the file name of the selected au- dio file is used as the “memory name”, while the start time (00m00s000ms) and end time of the audio file are set as the start time and end time of the memory entry respectively.

2)Press the [SHIFT] key to turn on the Shift mode, and specify the memory bank to which you want to assign audio data by pressing the corresponding numeric key in the [MEMORY] key group.

For example, if you press the [1/space] key, the display changes to show the setting screen for memory bank 1 (MEMORY 1).

<Note>: Before executing the save op- eration, you can edit the memory name, as well as playback start time and end time. However, in the procedure ex- ample here, we leave them as default. See the following pages for details about how to edit a memory name and the start/end time.

3)While "[TNO]" is highlighted, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The display changes to show the audio file list screen for selecting an audio file.

4)Use the [MENU] dial to select a desired audio file and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The display returns to the MEMORY 1 setting screen. The selected audio file is assigned to MEMORY 1 and "<SAVE>" is highlighted.

5)While "<SAVE>" is highlighted, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The setting completes and the display returns to the Home screen on which you can see the file is assigned to MEMORY 1.

Repeat the procedure as many times as re- quired until desired audio files are assigned to memory banks. You can assign up to 10 audio files to memory banks.

In the following screen example, all memory banks (1 through 9 and 0) have audio data. With a CD-DA disc, a track number is shown in the name field.

CR500 specifications

The Fostex CR500 is a remarkable addition to the world of professional audio monitoring, offering an impressive blend of technology and user-friendly design. This studio monitor is engineered to deliver high-quality sound reproduction, making it an ideal choice for musicians, audio engineers, and home studio enthusiasts alike.

At the heart of the CR500 is its sophisticated driver technology. Featuring a 5-inch woofer and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, the monitor delivers a well-balanced sound with clarity and depth. The woofer is designed to handle low frequencies with precision, providing deep bass response, while the tweeter ensures that high frequencies are reproduced smoothly, eliminating harshness and fatigue during long mixing sessions.

One of the standout features of the CR500 is its bi-amp system, which allows the woofer and tweeter to be powered separately. This amplification method minimizes distortion and enhances overall sound quality, allowing each driver to perform optimally. Additionally, the rear-firing bass port contributes to an extended low-frequency response, giving users a more immersive listening experience.

The CR500 is equipped with a range of control options, including a volume knob, high-frequency and low-frequency control, and a switch for adjusting the speaker's position in the room. This level of customization is crucial for achieving an accurate mix, as it allows users to tailor the sound to their specific environment.

In terms of connectivity, the Fostex CR500 comes with balanced XLR and TRS inputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of audio interfaces and mixing consoles. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for both professional studios and home setups.

Build quality is another key aspect of the CR500. The cabinet is constructed from high-density MDF, which helps minimize cabinet resonance and unwanted vibrations. The sleek finish not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also contributes to its durability.

Overall, the Fostex CR500 studio monitor stands out for its exceptional sound quality, robust build, and user-friendly features. It's an excellent choice for anyone looking to elevate their audio production experience, whether for music production, mixing, or mastering. With its combination of advanced technologies and thoughtful design, the CR500 is a reliable tool for achieving accurate and dynamic sound reproduction in any studio setting.
