Manufacturer's Description for Mackie MDR2496 24-Track Hard Disk Recorder

Introducing the newest member of Mackie's hard disk recorder family.
The new MDR24/96 is Mackie's price-busting commitment to nonlinear hard disk recording. For the first time recordist or those replacing aging ADAT¬s, the MDR24/96 is the perfect choice.

Ready to go right out of the box with 24 channels of analog I/O, the MDR24/96's familiar tape recorder style controls and simple operation will have folks up and recording in no time. Low-cost removable recording and backup drives make saving and storing projects a breeze.

Non-linear recording is nondestructive and uses drive space more efficiently than linear or "tape mode" hard disk recorders. Basic cut, copy, and paste editing is done using the MDR24/96's front panel controls right out of the box. With 999 Undos, creativity comes without risk.

The MDR24/96 is equally powerful for pro users. Combined with the HDR24/96 Recorder/Editor and Remote 48 controller, the MDR24/96 is the perfect 24-track slave at a very low cost. Multi-room studios can install MDR24/96's in the 'B' and 'C' rooms and edit those projects on an HDR24/96 in the 'A' room.
