MicroTrack 24/96 Mobile Digital Recorder
October 22, 2005
Los Angeles, CA - -Audio, a provider of creative tools for computer-centric musicians, announced shipment of the new MicroTrack 24/96 digital recorder ($499). About the size and weight of a deck of cards, the MicroTrack 24/96 digital recorder is a high-fidelity mobile 2-channel digital recorder that records WAV and MP3 files to CompactFlash media or microdrives.
The unit can record via balanced ¼” line inputs or built-in high-fidelity microphone preamps complete with phantom power for studio-quality microphones. Balanced ¼” TRS line inputs also make it easy to take a feed directly from a studio or club mixer. S/PDIF input provides for recording the output of digital mixers and doing transfers from other digital recording/storage devices. Monitoring is provided via the 1/8” stereo headphone jack or RCA line outs.
Recording capacity is based on the format selected and the size of the currently inserted media. An affordable 1GB CompactFlash card or microdrive, for example, will hold approximately 100 minutes of uncompressed CD-quality 16-bit stereo 44.1kHz WAV files. That same 1GB media will store 1500 minutes of stereo speech-quality MP3 audio at 96kbps. Users can deploy and swap out whatever capacity media suits their needs.
The MicroTrack 24/96 can record as many unique files as the capacity of the available storage allows. When connected to a PC or Mac computer, the MicroTrack 24/96 appears as a USB mass storage device showing the unique identification number of each file. Just drag and drop the files to the computer’s hard drive and the audio files are ready to edit and/or post to the Web. The included software provides easy editing and format conversion of files if desired.
MicroTrack 24/96 is powered via long-life lithium-ion batteries that provide for approximately eight hours on a single charge (or about three hours with phantom power engaged). The battery recharges by simply connecting MicroTrack 24/96 to a PC or Mac via USB, or using an optional power supply.
