Fostex MR-16HD/CD Digital Recorder with CD Burner

More recording power for less money with a compact footprint.

Ever since they pioneered the first 8 track digital recorder that could use 1/4" tape (without the expected crosstalk), Fostex has found new ways to give you more in less space and for less money.

The MR 16 gives you 4 track simultaneous recording and 16 track playback, plus the ability to bounce 16 tracks to a new song file, so you get your full 16 tracks at mixdown. A built in 40GB hard drive gives you up to 8 hours of recording (16 track). A built in CD R/RW drive lets you create your own audio CD or import/export WAV files.

The MR 16 digital recorder also provides 4 x analog inputs (mic/line) with phantom power, one of which features built in analog distortion, amp simulation, or mic simulation, for guitar. Input EQ for sound shaping is also available. Input signals can be assigned to the stereo buss to output through the monitor and stereo output along with playback audio.

On the output side, the Fostex MR 16 offers 2 x aux output so you can use outboard signal processors, S/PDIF digital out (optical) for digital dubbing to MD/DAT recorder, and a MIDI output to send MTC or MIDI Clock to an external sequencer or recorder.

You also get built in digital effects including reverb and delay, plus dedicated mastering effects (3 presets) on a stereo bus (good for track bouncing or stereo mixing). The Fostex MR 16 recorder also features powerful audio editing functions including Copy/Paste, Move, Import, Exchange, Erase, etc of selected tracks or part.

A USB 1.1 host port lets you to connect an external CD R for creating audio CDs and a USB 2.0 port gives you high speed transfer to a PC, plus easy file conversion of audio data on Track 15 16 to stereo WAV file. Used with the bounce function, this provides a convenient way to create audio CDs on PC, or music files for a portable player.
