Fostex CR200 Brochure & Specs

discs has until now been somewhat of a luxury, with only the very top studios and recording professionals having the kind of investment to purchase a CD mastering machine. PROFESSIONAL CD-R However, this situation is about to change with the machine you see here - the thoroughly professional, yet incredible value Fostex CR200 Compact Disc Recorder. Designed around a rugged copper chassis, this machine offers state-of-the-art digital and analogue audio recording to standard CD-R media via easy to use front panel controls. And don’t confuse ‘easy to use’ with a lack of features. Fostex have long had a reputation for designing audio tools packed with facilities which remain simple to understand and operate. The CR200 is no exception. EASY CD RECORDING With just a single button push you can select from one of 5 flexible recording modes; three Digital Synchro (modes 1, 2 and 3), which start when the CR200 detects an incoming signal, and two manual (modes 4 & 5), which operate just like a conventional recorder via transport keys. Synchro Mode 1 - ‘1-track’, CR200 records incoming audio to a single track and then returns to ‘record ready’. Synchro Mode 2 - ‘All-track’ CR200 records straight from CD, MD or DAT players renewing track numbers on each blank part stopping automatically after the last track. Synchro Mode 3 - ‘Auto-ID’ CR200 creates track ID’s identical to an incoming DAT Start ID allowing for the creation of DAT clones. Mode 4 - ‘Digital manual’ You control digital recording via standard transport keys. Mode 5 - ‘Analogue manual’ You control analogue recording via Rec Level, Rec Balance and standard transport keys.
