The MicroTrack 24/96 is a rugged high-fidelity mobile 2-channel digital recorder that records WAV and/or MP3 files to CompactFlash or microdrives—perfect for everything from professional field recording to corporate meetings, training, education and worship.
One of the secrets
to the MicroTrack’s compact size is that, like many of today’s
digital cameras, it records to CompactFlash or microdrives. Recording
capacity is based on the recording format selected and the size of the
currently inserted media. An affordable upgrade to a 1GB CompactFlash
card or microdrive, for example, will hold approximately 100 minutes
of uncompressed CD-quality 16-bit stereo 44.1kHz WAV files. That same
1GB media will store 1500 minutes of stereo speech-quality MP3 audio
at 96kbps. Of course, you can use and swap out whatever capacity media
suits your needs.
Record via balanced line inputs or built-in high-fidelity microphone preamps complete with 48V phantom power for studio-quality microphones.
Connect MicroTrack 24/96 to a PC or Mac via USB and simply drag and drop recordings to your computer for immediate editing or Web posting. Powered
by a long-life rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the unit can recharge via the computer’s USB connection or
the included A/C adapter.
The MicroTrack 24/96 combines quality beyond that of DAT recording with the convenience and cost-effectiveness of personal digital recorders for the ultimate solution in mobile recording.
The MicroTrack represents a far better way to acquire audio than DAT,
especially in the field. For starters, MicroTrack's media and
electronics are all solid state, making them significantly more
compact, reliable and resilient. Where delicate DAT tapes are
comparatively hard to find, CompactFlash and microdrives are readily
available, and the price per megabyte keeps plummeting. Perhaps even
more compelling, audio data transfers from MicroTrack to your computer
almost instantly—no more waiting around for real-time DAT transfers.
And MicroTrack's media can even double as storage for other devices
such as digital cameras.
Professional
Recording—Anytime, Anywhere
At about the size and weight of a deck of cards, MicroTrack will go
anywhere you need to record—but don’t let its small size fool you.
Thanks to leaps in miniaturization, this rugged device is in the same
class as our critically acclaimed audio interfaces. Pro-quality
preamps complete with phantom power will work with your favorite
condenser microphones virtually anywhere you need to capture
audio—all the way up to 24-bit/96kHz.
Take MicroTrack
with you wherever you go as a songwriter’s notebook -
MicroTrack's mobility and mic preamps also make it ideal for recording
practice sessions and gigs, not to mention capturing film-quality
sound effects in the field. Balanced ¼” TRS line ins also make it
easy to take a feed directly from a studio or club mixer. S/PDIF input
means that you can even record the output of digital mixers and do
transfers from other digital recording/storage devices. And regardless
of how you choose to record, you can monitor via the 1/8” stereo
headphone jack or RCA line outs.
Simple Transfers - You
can record as many unique files as the capacity of your available
storage allows. Then just connect MicroTrack to your PC or Mac via
USB, and it appears as a USB mass storage device showing the unique
identification number of each file. Just drag and drop the files to
your computer’s hard drive and your audio is ready to edit and/or
post to the Web. The included Audacity software even gives you the
power to easily edit your files and convert between file formats.
MicroTrack’s
ability to record directly to MP3 files and transfer them instantly to
the computer means that you can e-mail or post high-quality
recordings to the Web immediately. Musicians can e-mail demos to
writing/production partners and record companies when the inspiration
strikes. Business users can easily upload meetings and presentations
for review and wider dissemination immediately. Educators can post
classes, lectures and seminars without delay. Faith-based
organizations can quickly broadcast worship services and speakers.
MicroTrack is
powered via long-life lithium-ion batteries. You can record for
approximately four to five hours on a single charge (or about three
hours with phantom power engaged). Recharge the battery by simply
connecting MicroTrack to a PC or Mac via USB, or using the included power supply.
