F ostex have made new additions to their range of stand-alone digital multitrack professional recorders and now present the new 24bit / 96kHz compatible D1624 and D824. These high specification machines record uncompressed digital audio at up to 24bit / 96kHz to caddy-held standard E-IDE hard drives by way of state-of-the-art 128x oversampling delta-sigma 24bit AD/DAs - all under the full control of FDMS-3 Fostex's efficient Disk Management System. FDMS-3 not only offers more efficient disk usage, (up to 1,880 track minutes recording on a 10Gb drive with 16bit/44.1kHz), but also allows for faster editing operations. FEATURE RICH In addition to the 24bit / 96kHz capability, both machines also offer 4 other recording formats, additional ghost tracks, sophisticated nondestructive audio editing with multiple UNDOs, copy/paste editing across song programs, .WAV file suppor t and RS-422 connectors supporting the P2 protocol. Ease of use has been enhanced too with the addition of the `All Input' and `All Ready' functions which allow a user to check all input signals and make all tracks ready with single button pushes. Expansion options have also been improved and now run to plug-in cards to add timecode, AES/EBU and balanced I/O functions. Usability, expansion incredible quality digital recording, the D824 & D1624 have every base covered. Main features..
