High-quality stereo recording in the palm of your hand.

The Alesis TwoTrack is the easiest way to record studio-quality, stereo sound in any setting. Featuring convenient, dedicated-function controls and an easy-to-read, backlit LCD, the TwoTrack was designed for everyday use in a wide variety of applications. You won't get lost in endless technical settings or submenus; the TwoTrack is designed for capturing high-quality sound without demanding your constant attention. You can easily carry the TwoTrack in your pocket, gig bag, stick bag, or virtually any other case. The TwoTrack puts easy-to-use recording in the palm of your hand.

Easy Recording Anytime
Sometimes you just need a good way to record without all the complicated setup of microphones, cables and mixers. The TwoTrack is your solution. It's small enough to keep in your guitar case or laptop bag and runs on just one AA battery for hours of recording.

Set the TwoTrack down in the corner of the room on the Alesis Tripod Stand (sold separately) and forget about it. Your recording will be saved in the TwoTrack's internal 128MB memory or on a micro SD or SDHC card up to 8GB (sold separately) for more than 100 hours of uncompressed WAV, or thousands of hours of MP3.

At the end of your session or rehearsal, you'll have a 16-bit, 44.1 stereo wav file, or an MP3 at up to 192kbps so you can listen to your performance and move it to your computer, music player, or phone. The TwoTrack is the most affordable way for musicians to record outside the studio. Whether you want to record your band's practices, capture your favorite live performers, or just need a way to record guitar or piano lessons, the TwoTrack makes high-quality, stereo recording simple.

The TwoTrack is more than a compact recorder. Use it to record your gigs and then export the recordings to your computer using the mini-USB output. Thanks to the TwoTrack's dual condenser microphones, you'll have two tracks to work with in virtually any music software from GarageBand to Pro Tools. Make your recording into a live CD of your band by separating each song with fade-ins and fade-outs, and then share it with friends or sell it to fans at your next show. The TwoTrack is an inexpensive way to get you or your band heard.

Beyond music applications, the TwoTrack is great for recording interviews, business meetings, speeches, nature sounds, lectures, or just notes to yourself.

Flexible Recording Anywhere
The TwoTrack is portable, easy to use and packed with useful features. You can easily mount it on standard camera stands or on the optional Alesis Mic Stand Adapter, which allows the TwoTrack to be placed on a mic stand. If you have a favorite microphone that you'd like to record with, the TwoTrack features a convenient mic/line input right on its side for mono or stereo sources. You can even mount and connect the TwoTrack to compatible video cameras and greatly enhance the sound of your videos.

The TwoTrack's microphone gain control is ergonomically designed to be right under your thumb or forefinger for easy adjustment, and you can easily monitor each mic's level on the TwoTrack's backlit LCD screen. A red LED indicates when you are recording and turns off whenever your signal clips, giving you a visual indication that gain adjustment is needed. If you don't want to worry about adjusting the gain manually, simply turn on the automatic gain control and the TwoTrack will monitor and adjust levels automatically to keep them consistent and virtually eliminate distortion.

TASCAM’s DR-05 brings high-quality stereo recording to an easy-to-use portable powerhouse with a size and price that anyone can handle. The DR-05 records in MP3 or WAV format – including 96kHz/24-bit high-resolution audio – to microSD or microSDHC media. A pair of all-new microphones handles up to 125dB SPL with the sensitivity to capture every detail. With new recording features like Peak Reduction and Quick Menu, the DR-05 puts album-quality recording in the palm of your hand.

Premium-quality Sound
Everything about the DR-05 is designed to get the best quality recordings of your music. A new pair of built-in microphones withstands up to 125dB SPL – the volume of a jet plane from 200 feet away – yet still have the sensitivity to capture every detail of a performance. You can add your own microphone or line-level source through the 1/8” stereo input, including plug-in power for microphones that need it.

Internally, the DR-05’s digital and analog circuit boards are built separately to increase noise performance, with a low-impedance design to further decrease hiss. A separate power supply is sent to the A/D and D/A converter for even better audio performance. The result is clean sound quality – over 92dB signal to noise ratio, under 0.05% total harmonic distortion and 20Hz to 40kHz response (-1/+3dB) at 96kHz/24-bit resolution.

Simple to Operate
The layout of the DR-05 has been revamped to be quick and easy to work with one thumb. Operations like recording, adjusting levels, deleting bad takes and adding markers are just a button press away. Dig deeper to find features like limiting, low cut filtering, a built-in chromatic tuner and more.

One new feature that makes the DR-05 easy to operate is the new Peak Reduction feature. This setting automatically sets your recording level by listening to the input and adjusting for the best level. Unlike Auto Gain settings, this one only goes down to prevent accidental distortion after a period of low level like a break. Peak Recording works in rehearsal mode or in record, so if the performance is louder than the soundcheck you’re still safe. Used with the built-in limiter, it’s unlikely you’ll distort your career-making live recording.

Other classic TASCAM features are included, like Variable Speed Audition to loop and slow down music without changing the pitch – perfect for transcribing or learning new music. A Level Align function can be switched on for playback, to smooth out any sudden volume jumps, and a built-in speaker is also provided. The two AA batteries are enough to power the recorder for 17 1/2 hours, even while recording at CD quality.

For musicians and recordists at any stage of their career, there’s no easier way to get great-sounding recordings than TASCAM’s DR-05.

The stereo recorder features a pair of adjustable condenser microphones. The built-in cardioid pattern mics can be moved from an XY position, for tight imaging, to an AB position, for a wider ambient sound. Choose the best sound depending on the source and environment.

Superior Sound Quality:
The sound of the DR-07mkII reflects over 30 years of TASCAM’s recording experience.

TASCAM's DR-2d Portable Digital Recorder brings high-resolution recording to a compact, affordable package. It offers up to 96kHz/24-bit WAV or MP3 recording to SD cards, and recordings can be transferred to computer through high-speed USB 2.0.

A new dual recording feature records a copy of your audio at a lower level, or a second pair of inputs for four-track recording. Unique to the DR-2d, Dual Recording ensures that if the level suddenly jumps you have a backup instead of a distorted performance. Three modes are provided:

• Dual Recording records a second copy of your performance up to -12dB lower. If the first recording gets distorted you'll have a copy that isn't distorted. This is in addition to the analog limiting and low cut filter on the input which also prevent distortion
• Line mode records also two stereo files – the built-in mics plus the line input. This is perfect for live recording: record the board mix to the line input as well as the built-in mics for the sound of the room. The two stereo files allow you to treat and mix these together after the event in your DAW software.
• Mix mode is similar to Line mode, only the two sets of inputs are mixed to one stereo file inside the DR-2d. This is the one to use when you don't want to do any mixing later on.

Record using the new built-in condenser microphones or plug in your own. You can slow down recordings without changing the pitch, and there's even a metronome and built-in speaker. The DR-2d provides hours of recording time using a pair of AA batteries. making it the perfect partner for songwriting, live performance, rehearsal or home studio recording. The DR-2d is also available in white.

Answering the call of remote recording engineers, the TASCAM HD-P2 Portable High-Definition Stereo Audio Recorder is the professional solution for challenging live and on-location applications. Co-developed with Frontier Design Group, it records at up to 192kHz/24-bit resolution to Compact Flash media, and its audio files are instantly available to DAWs through the built-in high-speed FireWire computer connection. Unlike consumer MP3 sketchpads, the professional HD-P2 incorporates high-end features like a SMPTE timecode input for synchronization to external devices while in record or playback. The user interface is designed for fast and intuitive use under stressful one-take-only situations, and its large, angled LCD is perfect for any application from over-the-shoulder location recording to concert recording and commercial use.

High-definition Recording, To Go
The HD-P2 records in stereo from 44.1kHz to 192kHz, at 16- or 24-bit, to affordable Compact Flash media. Not only is Compact Flash absolutely silent, so no transport noise will show up on your recording, but the recorded audio is written directly as Broadcast WAVE files for immediate use in digital audio workstations. The unit even includes a FireWire jack for the fastest possible transfer of files to your PC or Mac computer.

The professional design of the HD-P2 extends to convenient details that pro users will appreciate. The Retake button allows the user to delete the last recording and set up to re-record with a single button press. As audio is recorded, the file headers are continually re-saved to protect your recording against accidental data loss. Files can be named from the front panel interface or using a PS/2 keyboard, which can also be used to control transport and setup features.

On the input side, the unit has a pair of XLR mic inputs with phantom power and analog peak limiting to curb distortion during unpredictable live events. The input level control allows the user to change the level without taking their eyes off the action. The HD-P2 also features unbalanced RCA ins and outs as well as S/PDIF digital I/O. Monitoring is available through a headphone out - again, with its own ergonomic level control - using a built-in speaker. A built-in microphone is also provided for interviews and educational use.

Built-in Synchronization - Because Being On Time Shouldn't Have To Be An Option
TASCAM's HD-P2 comes standard with a full-featured timecode input - making it the most affordable recorder with built-in timecode ever made. Incoming LTC is connected to the locking XLR input for timestamping your Broascast WAVE files from a central clock. Not only does the recorder timestamp your recorded audio with sample accuracy, the HD-P2 chases incoming timecode during playback for review or loading into an editor. A video clock input allows frame edge resolve to a central blackburst source or use as a lock-and-release timecode slave. There's also a freewheel setting for use with unpredictable timecode sources.

For maximum compatibility with the post production world, the HD-P2 supports pull-up and pull-down sample rates, even at high-resolution settings. The video clock input accepts tri-level sync for high-definition television production.

On Location, It's More Welcome Than The Craft Service Table
The shoulder-slung design of the HD-P2 with its included locking strap makes it a natural choice for film production recording. The Compact Flash media is safely recessed and latched to prevent accidental ejection, and audio can be recorded locked to timecode and video reference for absolute lock. It runs for approximately 5.5 hours on readily-available AA alkaline batteries, and weighs less than two pounds with batteries installed. At the end of the day, recordings can be instantly transferred to an editor through the FireWire jack or a CF reader for use in a non-linear editor to sync dailies or to conform dialog during post.

Precise recording quality for capturing a live performance
The HD-P2's 192kHz/24-bit recording resolution is so precise, you can almost hear what brand of cork was used for the conductor's baton. Its Compact Flash transport doesn't make any noise, so you don't need to worry about machine noise on the recording. The high-quality mic preamps provide phantom power to handle sensitive condenser microphones, and the analog limiter protects the recording against sudden transient distortion. With the high capacity of today's Compact Flash media, you might even be able to enjoy the performance without constantly watching the time remaining meter.

You don't need a union card to figure it out
Although the HD-P2 was designed for demanding film shoots and live concerts, it's still simple and affordable enough for use in everyday classrooms, churches and home studios. School band and orchestra leaders can use it to record rehearsals for students, and then record concerts to sell for fundraising. House-of-worship leaders can record their services for duplication on CD, and its high-speed FireWire connection provides instant access to the recording, so that CDs can be authored and duplication can begin as the laity files out of the church.

With professional connectivity, built-in synchronization, high-resolution recording and Compact Flash convenience, the HD-P2 is the professional solution for serious recording in a reliable, portable package.

HD-P2 Recording features:

• Stereo recording to Compact Flash media
• 44.1kHz to 192kHz recording resolution at 16- or 24-bit

MR2000S

Studio Recorder

Un-beatable Audio Performance Comes Home to Roost - Meet the Korg MR-2000S!
Korg captured the world's attention with their MR series of DSD mobile recorders and studio tools. After consulting with top recording and mastering professionals, Korg has now created the Korg MR-2000S Studio Recorder; a 2-track mixdown designed from the ground up to bring that same DSD sonic performance home for use in any studio environment.

A DSD and Mastering Recorder Born to Run
In keeping with the MR Series studio recorder heritage of portability, the MR-2000S 1- bit recorder adds a number of new features to meet the requirements of the most demanding studio, yet retains a sleek, single rack-space profile. This compact format is also ideal for any live recording rig; or for grabbing that "off-the-board" live recording night after night - as well as shuttling your recordings from venue to studio and back again. So whether you want to capture that once-in-a-lifetime performance with impeccable detail, or need to transfer those priceless recordings from session to session, the MR-2000S high-resolution audio recorder is ready to roll.

Recently released firmware update for the MR2000S adds many new features to improve operational ease.

• "MR Control Link" Function
  This lets you perform recording and playback with multiple MR-2000S units synchronized. Word clock and transport commands such as PLAY and STOP sent via the S/P DIF cable enable this function.
  
• Selection of stereo or mono as the recording format
  You can now select "Stereo" or "Dual Mono" as the recording format for enhanced compatibility with other devices and software.
  
• Support for mono audio files
  When playing a project that was recorded with "Dual Mono" selected as the recording format, or if there are files whose names end in a numeral (e.g., trk1) or that are likely to be a pair (e.g., _L,_R), they will be played back as a Dual Mono stereo pair. If the paired file has not found, that monaural file will be output from both channels.
  
• Support for professional use of channel status block as the S/P DIF output
  It is now possible to use the channel status block of the digital output from the S/P DIF terminal in "professional" mode. When you select "Professional", the first channel status bit is set to "1".
  
• Improved Fast-forward and Rewind.
  When holding down the FF or REW button during playback, you can now hear sound (commonly called scrubbing).
  
• Support for AIFF file playback
  MR-2000S can now play non-compressed AIFF files with the extension of .aif, .aiff, or .aifc.

So whether you want to capture that once-in-a-lifetime performance with impeccable detail, or need to transfer those priceless recordings from session to session, the MR-2000S high-resolution audio recorder is ready to roll.

Legendary MR Series Audio Fidelity
The MR-2000S-BK combines Korg’s legendary MR Series’ unprecedented audio quality with the features that the modern studio demands, creating the ideal mastering and mixdown recorder. The single-rackspace design and ample on-board hard drive delivers a compact way to capture and carry away the sound you were hearing in the mixing environment. The rich black studio finish, backlit LCD, and bright LED level meters provide excellent visibility and response speed, ensuring accurate monitoring. The MR-2000S-BK fulfills the professional ideal of a truly future-proof studio master recorder.

Capturing the Complete Performance
As with all of Korg’s MR Series recorders, the MR-2000S-BK supports the 1-Bit/2.8224 MHz DSDIFF format used in creating the SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc). The MR-2000S-BK goes above and beyond this industry standard to provide 1-Bit/5.6448 MHz recording. At such accelerated sampling rates, the entire sound stage is faithfully captured, even during the softest passages. The clarity, ambience and true dynamic range of the original sound source are preserved with unprecedented accuracy.

Format Fiesta
By mastering in this superior format, the recorded material can always be re-created natively in whatever format you require, providing a true future-proof archive. In supporting these recording requirements, the MR-2000S-BK uses the highest-quality components available - the CS4398 Digital to Analog Converter from Cirrus Logic and the Burr-Brown PCM4202 Analog to Digital Converter from Texas Instruments Corporation - minimizing any possible degradation of the audio signal. In addition to the aforementioned 2.8 MHz and 5.6 MHz 1-Bit formats (DSDIFF, WSD and DSF formats are supported), the MR-2000S-BK is ready to record in any of the current 16-Bit and 24-Bit formats (from 44.1 kHz up to 192 kHz) directly, in BWF (Broadcast WAV) or AIFF formats, and can even playback MP3 files.

Generous 160 GB HDD
The internal 160 GB hard disk allows approximately 29 hours of recording at the highest quality (1-bit 5.6448 MHz stereo), or approximately 240 hours of CD-quality (16-bit 44.1 kHz stereo). You can connect the MR-2000S-BK to your PC via the USB 2.0-compatible port and transfer the recorded data at high speed. The MR-2000S-BK can also be used as a FAT32 USB external drive to carry source material and other files when needed.

MR Control Link for Multi-Unit Operations
The MR Control Link feature allows one MR-2000S-BK to be assigned as the master, controlling the recorder operations such as playback and recording on multiple MR2000S/S-BK Studio Recorders. The synchronization clock and transport control signals are relayed via standard S/P DIF cables. This means that 7.1 channel surround or multi-track live recordings can be conveniently captured in the superlative DSD format. This function is also valuable as a way to create 1-Bit archives of multi-track sources such as stem mixes.

Dual Mono Mode
Dual Mono Recording capability allows two mono files to be generated in place of a single stereo file. For example when using the MR Control Link function to record with four MR-2000S/S-BK units, using dual mono recording will allow the recorded result to be handled as eight monaural files, making it easier to quickly import the files into your DAW system. The MR-2000S-BK can also use the file name to detect stereo pair files within the same folder, and play them back as dual mono files; mono files recorded on a DAW (or other device) can also be played back.

Easy Management of up to 160,000 Projects
When you record on the MR Series, two types of file are created; an audio file and a project file (which contains protect settings and mark data). These two files are collectively called a "project," and can be handled on the MR Series as a single audio file. The MR-2000S-BK lets you enter date information, and a date folder is created automatically for each day that you record. Each time you record, a project will be created in this folder. For each format, the MR-2000S-BK lets you create up to 400 date folders, with up to 400 projects in each date folder. It's also easy to perform file management tasks such as renaming, deleting, or protecting individual projects. You can also store up to 100 mark points in each project.

Setting Files enhance workflow efficiency
All critical MR-2000S-BK settings—input level, clock source, recording mode, etc.—can be memorized, named and saved as a Setting File. This feature allows you to save, manage, and load up to four hundred different operating setups. This means that even when different settings are used for different sessions, or when a single MR-2000S-BK unit is used by multiple engineers as a master recorder, you will be able to instantly resume your work simply by recalling the setting file that you saved for your current project. Additional improvements to your work flow include the ability to monitor audio while rewinding or fast-forwarding, making it easy to find the locate point at the beginning of a song or to set marker points.

The Ideal Connections for the Professional Workplace
The MR-2000S-BK offers the essential connectors for today’s professional workplace. Analog connectors include XLR balanced input/output jacks, and RCA unbalanced input/output jacks. The reference level of the XLR jacks can be switched between -12/-14/-16/-18/-20 dB, allowing the MR-2000S-BK to be used in any recording environment from a music-related studio to a broadcast facility. Digital connectors include S/PDIF coaxial jacks for PCM sources, as well as word clock jacks for synchronization with other devices or additional MR-2000S-BK units.

Bold Black Design
The new black panel with its bold yet understated design will harmonize with studio equipment as well as your home audio system. To avoid impairing the atmosphere of your listening room, the LED level meters can be turned off, allowing you to immerse yourself in an undisturbed world of sound.

Archiving Vinyl Records
Since the advent of the CD, audio equipment has become predominantly digital. Yet while sharp-edged sound is valued, the rich information content, warmth, and subtlety of analog records is also receiving renewed appreciation. Although the MR-2000S-BK is a digital device, DSD's high degree of reproducibility allows it to faithfully capture the warmth of an analog record, and has contributed to the popularity of the MR-2000S-BK as an ideal method of archiving inherently high-maintenance analog records.

*Additional equipment is required in order to connect an analog record player. For details, refer to the owner's manual of your analog record player.

Listening to Distributed Music
While music distribution via the Internet was initially focused on portable devices, its convenience has led to Internet playback functionality being integrated into home audio devices as well. In turn, this has led to an increasing interest in higher-quality music distribution. In addition to the ultimate audio quality of DSD, the MR-2000S-BK is also able to play back PCM formats of 16/24-bit 44.1 kHz, 16/24-bit 48 kHz, 24-bit 88.2 kHz, 24-bit 96 kHz, 24-bit 176.4 kHz, and 24-bit 192 kHz. The MR-2000S-BK is an ideal choice of player with high-quality format support.

Why are 4-channels of audio better than 2-channels?

• Capture more ambient sound at any shoot for an overall more convincing soundscape.
• Place mics on each participant in conferences, panels, reporters, etc.
• Redundancy or backup in case of camera mic noise or drop out.
• Simplify wedding shoots with a mic on the bride, groom, officiator and a mic for ambient sound.
• Video editing environments now support multi-channel audio as standard.
