Mackie Designs has launched a new 24-bit/24-track non-linear hard disk recorder. Available in September 2001, the new low-priced MDR24/96 makes Mackie’s hard disk recording technology available to a much broader audience. Fully compatible with Mackie’s HDR24/96, the new MDR24/96 includes an internal 20-gigabyte Ultra-DMA hard disk that delivers over 100 minutes of 24-track recording at 48kHz and a built-in drive bay for Mackie Media M-90 recording drives and Mackie Media Project backup drives. The MDR24/96 ships with three 24-bit, 48kHz analogue I/O cards as standard. Optional digital I/O cards are available. Sync and clock capabilities include MIDI MMC and MTC, SMPTE, video blackburst and Word Clock. A standard 100BaseT Ethernet port for connection to PCs and networks is also included.The MDR24/96 is also fully compatible with Mackie’s new Remote 48 Pro remote control. With the Remote 48 Pro, users can operate two hard disk recorders from a single control surface - allowing an MDR24/96 and HDR24/96 to function seamlessly as a full 48-track digital recording system with advanced editing capabilities.
