Create 24-bit Masters! The Alesis Masterlink is the only way to create 24-bit masters on standard CD. Of course, we know that 24-bit audio won't work on a standard CD player. But tomorrow's technology relies on high-resolution audio. Masterlink puts you on the crest of this new wave. You'll have a permanent, archived 24-bit master, ready for the audio standards of tomorrow. Need a CD for personal use, a quick demo copy, etc? No problem! Your full-resolution, archived recordings you create with Masterlink can still easily download to 16-bit. Alesis Masterlink At-a-Glance: 40GB Hard Drive Hi-res Masters plus Bit-depth and Sample Rate Conversion Easy Updating Balanced and Unbalanced Connectors 40GB Hard Drive Inside the mighty Alesis Masterlink is a 40 gigabyte IDE hard drive, which provides nearly 450 minutes of astonishingly detailed 24-bit / 96kHz audio, or a whopping 1800 minutes of standard 16-bit / 44.1kHz audio (which still sounds incredible). No data compression is used in any part of the Masterlink's recording process. What's more, there are actually 12 different combinations of bit rates and sampling frequencies. Hi-res Masters plus Bit-depth and Sample Rate Conversion The Alesis Masterlink is capable of doing full sample rate and bit rate conversion on any data you send it. You can record high-resolution audio for editing (crop, join, split, etc), DSP and playlist creation. Burn CDs to full Red Book standards or create high-resolution "CD24" master discs. What's more, the ML-9600 offers built-in digital signal processing using the 32-bit SHARC DSP chip. This gives you the ability to handle tasks like sample rate conversion, noise shaping, equalization, normalization, peak limiting, compression and even full fade for straight-to-press CD generation! Until recently, you needed a computer and additional expensive hardware and software to perform those tasks. Now, with the Alesis Masterlink, it's all possible on one machine. Easy Updating As music technology grows, your Alesis Masterlink comes fully prepared to keep up with the changes. Updating your software is easy: simply pop a CD-ROM with the new features and enhancements on it into the onboard CD transport and you're up-to-date within minutes. Balanced and Unbalanced Connectors Connectivity? No problem. For connecting to your hard disk recording capabilities, Masterlink sports dual balanced XLR analong inputs (+4dBu) and unbalanced RCA connectors (-10dBv). There are also balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA output connectors. For digital input and output, the unit features AES / EBU standard I/O via XLR connector. If you need S/PDIF ins and outs, the RCA jack on the back of the Masterlink will operate at the electrical levels of S/PDIF and also utilizes the exact mechanical characteristics. Alesis Masterlink ML-9600 Features: Huge internal hard disk recorder...up to 10 hours of two-track audio capacity Burn CDs using Standard "Red Book" (16-bit/44.1kHz) and high resolution formats...up to 24-bit, 96kHz Choose any combination of digital resolutions (16-, 20-, and 24-bit) and sample rates (44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96kHz) with full AIFF compatibility Organize song playlists with total control of fade-ins, fade-outs, track gain, start points, track cropping and more Stores 16 different playlists containing up to 99 songs each Onboard digital signal processing: compression, EQ, limiting, and normalization Uses inexpensive, readily available CD-Rs The Alesis Masterlink - the future of digital recording! Customer Reviews  Fantastic!   by Arthur "Ted" Herrington from Omaha, NE, January 05, 2007 Music Background:  Singer\Songwriter\Studio Owner “I've used the MasterLink on most of my projects, and it's operation is flawless, the sound is great, and it's virtually bulletproof. And the fact that I can put it in a ATA case and take it with me to other studio's is nice.” • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "One of the best ideas in recent memory for a product. MasterLink seamlessly combines two track recording, basic mastering processing and CD mastering/burning into one easy to use box. Whether for live use or studio, there is nothing out there quite like it. " Paul Lea   "I use the Masterlink live for stereo recording. Because I record direct to hard-disk before printing to CD, I never have to worry about a defective CD ruining my live recording. The converters are WONDERFUL, the machine is solid as a rock, and the results are exactly what I want every single time. My only regret is not buying one sooner."
