The Alesis ADAT HD24XR provides 24 tracks of high resolution 24-bit uncompressed linear recording at standard sample rates of 44.1kHz or 48 kHz. It supports 12 tracks at sample rates of 88.2kHz and 96kHz . The HD24XR comes complete with 24 channels of analog and digital inputs and outputs—there are no cards or extras to buy to get audio in or out of the recorder. An external BNC word clock input is provided for slaving to external clock sources. The HD24XR also provides powerful editing capabilities with CUT, COPY, PASTE and multiple UNDO functions across any or all tracks simultaneously.
Alesis ADAT HD24XR is built exclusively for the purpose of recording music instead of data, resulting in remarkable stability and performance. HD24XR enables engineers to record up to 24 tracks of high-resolution 24-bit recording at 44.1, 48 kHz, and 12 tracks at 88.2, and 96 kHz sample rates. HD24XR features the same A/D and D/A converters used in the acclaimed MasterLink.
Two hot-swappable media bays provide convenient access to recording drives and allow data backup in minutes. You can edit tracks internally or easily transfer to computer via an Ethernet connection.
Alesis ADAT HD24XR features ADAT Optical and ADAT Sync, enabling it to work efficiently with existing systems. It offers the same exceptional user-friendly interface ADAT users have come to expect.
Alesis ADAT HD24XR packs 24 channels of digital audio I/O into a single-unit recorder that easily fits into any environment.
The Alesis ADAT HD24XR can be used in a studio as a standalone recording/mastering system. Users can record directly into the HD24XR for live recording or studio applications. Archive your recordings onto the hard drive, then edit and organize them into sessions. Use the HD24XR to record on any of a number of sample rates and bit depths.
