MACKIE SDR24-96 Details
The SDR24/96 is the
ideal complement
to our family of hard disk recorders,” stated Keith Olsen, Corporate Director,
Global Recording Market and Product Development at Mackie Designs Inc. “When we
introduced the MDR24/96 with an aggressive introductory price, we proved that
the market was truly ready for an affordable digital alternative for analog
tape machines. The SDR2496 is designed to fill this niche and bring a
feature-rich, stand-alone hard disk recorder to the home and project studio.”
The SDR24/96 has processing power for 24 simultaneous
channels at 24-bit/48kHz or 12 channels at
24-bit/96kHz. An internal IDE hard drive provides storage for up to 90 minutes
of 24-track recording while an on-board drive bay will accommodate the same
Mackie Media M-90 pullout disks and Mackie Media Project drives used by the
MDR24/96 and HDR24/96.
Front panel controls are fashioned after
familiar tape-based systems. But, unlike tape-based recorders, the new SDR24/96
benefits from true, non-linear recording and editing capabilities. Non-linear
recording allows the SDR24-96 to record multiple versions of a track or track
segment without destroying the original—nothing is lost. During playback, the
recorder recombines the non-linear segments into a seamless stream of audio. In
addition, the SDR24/96 is able to significantly increase recording time per
gigabyte by efficiently using only the space needed for actual audio.
Ready to use right out of the box, the SDR2496 comes with fixed rear panel
inputs and outputs that include 24 channels of analog via six DB-25 ports, ADAT
optical, MIDI I/O for MMC and MTC, SMPTE, and clock inputs and outputs. Also
included is a USB port for export of standard .wav files to PC or Macintosh®
computers. The SDR24/96 is also fully compatible with the new Mackie
MicroRemote Controller ($99.00 MSRP, U.S.) and the existing Remote24.
