With its highly competitive price tag and extremely reliable embedded record engine, it’s no wonder that Mackie’s SDR 24/96 has become such a hit. Available on Mackie’s website is a firmware upgrade that adds significant functionality to this multi-channel digital recorder. Version 1.08 adds such things as MTC and LTC generation, LTC sync, the Copy Project function now includes a progress indicator and a cancel option, and much more. Suffice it to say that if you own an SDR 24/96 and have not yet upgraded its firmware to 1.08, now is the time to do so. If the Mackie SDR 24/96 is new to you, pick up the phone and ask your Sweetwater Sales Engineer all about it!
