Direct to disk completely autonomous (with Intgr mixing with the possibility to record both numrique (16-channel ADAT / AES / EBU and SPDIF) but also in analog and no deformation of the sound!
possibility to store all media types and even a SCSI DAT computer for archiving music!
all types of media are synchro (with optional boards)

UTILIZATION

You can record 8 tracks simultaneously and read 16 at the same time (not counting the "bus" that allows to transfer 16 tracks on two tracks numrique total!)
Configuration is very simple, no features "caches" everything is clear and intuitive

the manual is very clear and makes the machine very easy to use after a few hours

SOUNDS

The registration system is clean AKAI (system compression between converters) rsultat: crystal clear sound in the treble and very very dynamic !!!... fishing on this unit "buried" good number of direct to disk present and care must be taken at the output of this machine if you do not want to see her pregnant !!!.... smoking at home when the bass is very well reimbursed as and machine a little color and very enjoyable sound in the bass of 20-250 Hz, which is very enjoyable when using the 16 dr for contemporary music that require a big sound in the bass and treble very pr cis.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 7 years and I intend to use it again for quite some time to come because it surpasses in many dynamic machines equivalents

we begin to find around 1500 euros with options so that price the buy it eyes closed!

I bought mine almost 6000 euros with the options and I still buy it now if the opportunity arises Submitted!

I place a rating of 10/10!!
