The First 24-bit/192kHz Memory Recorder for the Field

The Fostex FR-2 has been designed specifically for location sound recording, broadcast & sound effects acquisition, TV & radio documentary, and in fact any application where high quality audio recording is required. The Fostex FR-2 sets a new price performance ratio in the compact portable 2-track recorder market. Flexibility is the keyword with the Fostex FR-2. Recording industry-standard Broadcast WAV Files (BWF) to either PCMCIA 1.8" hard drives or Type II Compact Flash cards, the FR-2 brings many features from Fostex's experience as a long-term leader in digital location recording such as a 10 second pre-record buffer, battery power, onboard limiter, and phantom-powered balanced mic inputs. Of particular note is the FR-2's file-per-take system, with scene & auto take naming which was developed on the industry acclaimed PD-6 & DV40. The Fostex FR-2 has the ability to record up to 24-bit/192KHz, making it the first choice where the highest quality sound effects acquisition is required. An optional timecode card has a fully featured reader/generater, including 23.976, and external word/video references, making the Fostex FR-2 an ideal basic production or location backup recorder.
