The Korg MR-2000S Studio Recorder - designed from the ground up to bring that same 1-Bit sonic performance home for use in any studio environment.
The Korg MR-2000S adds a number of new features to meet the requirements of the most demanding studio, yet retains a sleek, single rack-space profile.
All of Korg’s MR Series recorders feature the 1-Bit/2.8224 MHz format used in creating the SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc). The MR-2000S goes above and beyond this industry standard to provide 1-Bit/5.6448 MHz recording. At such accelerated sampling rates, the entire sound stage is faithfully captured, even during the softest passages.
The MR-2000S uses the highest-quality components available - the CS4398 Digital to Analog Converter from Cirrus Logic and the Burr-Brown PCM4202 Analog to Digital Converter from Texas Instruments Corporation - minimizing any possible degradation of the audio signal.
In addition to the aforementioned 2.8 MHz and 5.6 MHz 1-Bit formats (DSDIFF, WSD and DSF formats are supported), the MR2000S is ready to record in any of the current 16-Bit and 24-Bit formats (from 44.1 kHz up to 192 kHz) directly, in BWF (Broadcast WAV) format.
The XLR analog inputs feature a selectable -12dB, -14dB -16 dB, -18dB or -20 dB reference level, insuring the proper level match with nearly any audio source. XLR analog outputs are also provided. In addition, the Korg MR-2000S is equipped with analog RCA style inputs and outputs for maximum flexibility.
On the digital side, coaxial S/P DIF digital I/O provides smooth integration into any 16-Bit or 24-Bit digital studio environment from the music workshop to the broadcast studio. The MR-2000S also provides word clock I/O for reliable digital synchronization between various digital audio equipment or even between two MR-2000S Studio Recorders.
Even at the highest resolution (1-Bit/5.6 MHz), the 80 GB internal hard drive provides a generous 14 hours of stereo recording time.
The included AudioGate software let you transform the data into multiple format masters. Adjust the left/right balance, enter locate points numerically from the keyboard, and link individual mono files into a single stereo song. Support for importing new file formats - AAC, Apple Lossless, WMA and even MP3 has been added as well.
