MDR 24/96

Overview

By combining traditional multitrack tape recording features with the power and flexibility of hard disk recording, the Mackie Designs MDR24/96 takes multitrack recording to a level never before achieved by a product in its price range. In addition to the standard battery of traditional tape-based features, the MDR24/96:

•Combines the familiarity of a multitrack tape machine with the security of non-destructive recording and non-degrading recording media.

•Records simultaneously on all 24 tracks at 44.1 or 48 kHz and on 12 tracks at 88.2 or 96 kHz. At 48 kHz the internal hard drive stores over 2200 track-minutes of 24-bit audio (90 minutes of 24 full tracks). That’s more than six reels of 2” tape at 30 inches per second! At 96 kHz the drive stores 1100 track-minutes of 24-bit audio (45 minutes of 24 full tracks).

•Has eight Virtual Takes per track, allowing you to record multiple passes without having to change routing and bussing assignments or use additional tracks.

•Iinterfaces with any analog or digital console. The MDR24/96 uses the same I/O cards as the Mackie Digital 8•Bus console: the AIO•8 (24-bit analog A/D and D/A), DIO•8 (TDIF/ADAT Optical), PDI•8 (AES/EBU), and low-cost OPT•8 (ADAT Optical).

•Provides three convenient methods of backup: Mackie Media M•90, a removable hard drive (also capable of 24-track recording and playback), Mackie Media PROJECT, a removable drive using inexpensive, removable 2.2 GB ORB cartridges; and data transfer to another computer through the MDR24/96’s 100 Base-T Ethernet port via the built-in FTP server.

•Offers two optional remote control devices – the compact Remote 24 for smaller project studios, and the full-featured Remote 48 for controlling up to 48 tracks on two MDR24/96 recorders.
