Fostex MR16HD & MR16HD/CD Digital Multitrackers
Major Music and Fostex are proud to announce the upcoming release of the MR16HD and MR16HD/CD Digital Multitrack recorders.
Expanding the popular and successful range of MR series digital multitrack recorders, these two new models offer features that will benefit a range of users, including guitarists and songwriters. Designed with simplicity of operation in mind, the MR16HD models are fast and intuitive to use, with dedicated buttons, faders and knobs enabling quick access to the recorder's features.
Unique to the MR16HD are 33 stellar EQ presets available to each input and 2 AUX sends for connecting to external gear. Add to this the convenience of WAV file recording, digital effects, mastering effects, analog guitar distortion and mic simulation and you've got one of the slickest, highest quality and downright easiest to use 16 track available on the market.
The philosophy behind the design of the MR series recorders is simple: don't detract from the creative process! With so many recent innovations in music technology, the average musician often finds themselves immersed in a swamp of menus, submenus, hidden functions, shortcut keys and technical jargon. Once there was a time when the mic input was labeled "Mic" and the record button "Rec", these days have returned with the Fostex MR series digital recording range. There are precious few multitracks out there that are as easy or intuitive to use, and are aimed squarely at people wanting to capture the magic of a performance, not study manuals and LCD screens in the hope of getting around to doing the actual recording. If you have the music.. fostex has the medium! Get in, get down, get dirty, recording is about music, not technology!
