DISC Fostex D-2424LV MKII HD recorder (160GB HD fitted)

Full Description

There's only one chance to capture the performance. One chance to capture the magic. You need a solution which is tough, reliable, proven, rack-mountable, expandable and with enough inputs for the whole band.

In short, you need the new Fostex D2424LV. This ultra-high specification 24 track digital recorder is simply the most capable, most flexible, best sounding, and easy to use digital multitrack ever.

Virtual Timecode Track

The "Virtual Timecode Track" feature allows recording of timecode from internal or external sources to a virtual timecode track keeping all tracks free for audio.

ADAT Interface - 24-track simultaneous recording & data archive

The ADAT Digital Interface is present on machine. This can be used for importing and exporting of ADAT compatible material, archiving sessions to the ADAT format and for interfacing to the new breed of digital mixing consoles. By recording using the ADAT interface the number of simultaneous recording tracks available is maximised to 24.

Multiple Undo

Hard drives can be specially formatted to enable the Multiple Undo feature. When formatted in this way, all recording takes are given a unique time stamp by the internal clock and saved to a separate part of the drive, (the number of takes is only dependent by the disk space available). By using the Multiple Undo function you can jump back to any previous take with a simple button push.

A computer-based digital multitrack set-up might be fine for studio use, where you can work around limited inputs and complex operational issues, but when it comes to live recording they simply don t cut it.

24 Tracks, 24 Balanced I/Os

No matter what the performance is, rock, theatrical, jazz, or worship, you need inputs. So for maximum flexibility, each of the D2424LV s 24 digital recording tracks has it s own analog input and output on TRS jack. These I/Os can be set to function as +4dBu balanced or -10dBV unbalanced ensuring maximum connectivity with consoles and effects.

In addition to the analog I/OS there are three ADAT Digital Interfaces (24 ADAT I/Os in total) for connection to the new breed of digital consoles.

Awesome Audio Quality

Employing the latest 24bit A/D s and D/As, the D2424LV s high-definition recording engine offers sonically pure, no-compromise non-compressed multitrack recording in one of six audio formats, including the new 24bit / 96kHz and 24bit / 88.2kHz standards. All under the control of FDMS-3, Fostex s intelligent disk management software.
