Designed specifically for location sound recording,
broadcast & sound effects acquisition, TV & radio documentary,
and in fact any application where high quality audio recording is
required, the Fostex FR-2 sets a new price performance ratio in the
compact portable two track recorder market.
Flexibility
is the keyword with the FR-2. Recording industry-standard Broadcast Wav
Files (BWF) to either PCMCIA 1.8" hard drives or Type II Compact Flash
cards, the FR-2 brings many features from Fostex's experience as a
long-term leader in digital location recording such as a 10 second
pre-record buffer, battery power, on-board limiter, and phantom powered
balanced mic inputs. Of particular note is the file per take system
with scene & auto take naming which was developed on the industry
acclaimed PD-6 & DV40.
Specific 'firsts' on
the FR-2 include the ability to record up to 24-bit 192KHz, making it
the first choice where the highest quality sound effects acquisition is
required; and the optional timecode card which has a fully-featured
reader/generator, including 23.976, and external word/video references,
making it an ideal basic production or location back-up recorder.
