Product Description

The First Hard Disk Recorders Worthy of the Name ADAT...
Introducing the world's first 24-track, 24-bit/96kHz hard disk recorders designed to fit comfortably into any standard ADAT environment -- and match ADAT's legendary performance and affordability.

With their patent-pending method of writing to the hard drive, HD24 and HD24XR are the first hard disk recorders built from the ground up exclusively for the purpose of recording music instead of data -- resulting in remarkable stability and performance. And yet, thanks to their use of standard, low-cost IDE computer drives, the recording media costs no more than traditional ADAT tape on a per track basis.

Two hot-swappable media bays provide convenient access to the recording drives, and allow the user to backup data in just minutes. You can edit tracks internally or easily transfer to computer via built-in Ethernet. They're the only HD recorders on the market with standard ADAT Optical and ADAT Sync, enabling them to work efficiently with existing systems. And they offer the same exceptional user-friendly interface ADAT users have come to expect.

Alesis reinvents digital recording. Again.

Features:
24-track, 24-bit digital audio recording at 48kHz (12 tracks at 96kHz)

High sample rates for top-notch audio. Digital: 44.1-96kHz. Upgrade HD24 to 96kHz with the EC-2

Fully loaded standard connections include 24 analog inputs and outputs (+4dBu, 1/4 in. TRS), plus 24 channels of ADAT Optical I/O

Dual recording bays utilize standard low-cost, removable IDE drives so media costs don't break the bank

Instant random access to audio using ADAT/FST (File Streaming Technology). Hit rewind or fast-forward and you're there in a flash

Internal editing capabilities include cut, copy, paste, and track-move with undo. Or use the built-in Ethernet port to easily send files to a computer DAW

Multiple units can be synchronized to create a larger system, and easily integrated into an existing ADAT system

Everything you need for a world-class digital recording setup: MIDI in/out, MTC out, Ethernet, ADAT Sync in/out, and Word Clock in

The included 40GB drive provides 180 minutes of 24-track record time at 24-bit zZounds is an authorized dealer of Alesis products.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "You will probably be glad you picked this."

Sound: I have little extended experience with anything else, but this thing records and plays back faithfully. I've actually stopped using 96khz mode because 48khz sounds excellent. Feature: I'm so glad I didn't have to pay extra for 24 analog inputs and outputs. I do use the Ethernet port, but I wish it was faster. Unfortunately, the manual I have is written for Windows 98. I certainly don't use that version anymore. I'll probably get the Firewire adapter eventually. The fact that it uses standard IDE hard-drives is awesome. Friggin' awesome. Quality: Rock solid. I have no worries. Had it for a year with no problems. Value: I am extremely annoyed that the price has come down in the last year since I bought it. Also, they're offering that free firewire port again, which wasn't available at the time I purchased the HD24XR. So, basically, it's an awesome value right now. Sucks for me. Manufacturer Support: The manual is not bad, but its complete lack of Windows XP networking instructions has been annoying. I'm sure the networking problems I've had have more to do with guessing about how to make the thing work in XP than anything else. The Wow Factor: Couldn't live without it. I did shop around quite a bit before hand, and this is the best for the money, as far as I'm concerned. Overall: I'm expecting to be using this thing ten years from now.

Style of Music: rock and roll
