Features at-a-glance

Stereo recording to SDHC card or CF card
PCM recording format: BWF (44.1/48/88.2/96/176.4/192kHz, 16/24bit)
DSD recording format: DSDIFF/DSF (2.8/5.6MHz)
SD card slot (supports 4 to 32GB SDHC cards)
CF card slot (supports UDMA)
WAV file playback
Cascade function enables simultaneous operation of multiple units
Recording 2 mono files from stereo input possible
Mark functions can be used set up to 99 points per file (mark information can be used in software that supports BWF format)
When recording, designation of the recording file folder possible
Synchronized recording using level, stop time and recording start delay time setting
Input level can be adjusted in 0.5dB step
Using automatic track incrementing function, new files can be created automatically while continuing to record when a condition (level, file size, digital input) set in advance occurs
Manual track incrementing function can be used whenever you like to create a new track while continuing to record
Automatic mark functions can be used to easily check problems (levels, word clock unlocking) detected during recording
File name format can be set to either a user-defined word or the date and time
Repeat playback function (all files or single file)
Folder playback function can be used to play all files in a folder
Playlist function allows files to be programmed in advance for playback
