CD-R/RW Master Recorder
Discontinued
CR500

Direct BWF recording to CD-R/RW. New generation CD-R/R/RW master recorder supporting up to 24bit/96kHz and enhanced playback functions.

Features

Direct recording in CD-DA and BWF (Broadcast Wave Format) to CD-R/RW.

When recording in BWF, 44.1/48 kHz (16bit) or 44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz (24bit) can be selected.
(*Different FS/bit cannot be mixed on a single CD.

In addition to CD-DA and UDF, ISO9660 (playback only) format is also supported.
Mounting of CDs recorded in UDF format/BWF is supported only on Windows XP and Mac OSX 10.5.1 or later.

Analog inputs and outputs include XLR (balanced / +4dBu) and RCA pins (unbalanced / -10dBV).

Digital input/output supports AES/EBU and S/P DIF.

10 memory points can be registered for each CD (programs and CUE points for 100 CDs are automatically recorded in the main unit’s memory.
When a recorded disc is reinserted, the memory information is automatically reproduced.

Up to 99 tracks can be programmed for playback.

Memory play (instant start) is possible using the 10 keys on the main unit and the USB keyboard (10 keys).

Some USB10KEYs can also send a “RETURN” signal when the “ENTER” key is pressed, but this cannot be used with the CR500. If you are not sure about the specification of your USB10KEY, please contact your dealer or the manufacturer.

The digital scrubber with waveform display is used to register memory points for precise operation.

Shock proof function to prevent sound skipping during recording and playback.

POWER ON PLAY function is convenient for equipment sound.

Equipped with a GPI terminal for fader start. PLAY/STOP control is possible from a mixer equipped with a fader start terminal.

USB keyboard for file name editing, various settings, and transport control.

Built-in real-time clock and date can be set to file name.

A 132 x 64 dot LCD with backlight is convenient for checking file information and various setting information.

Equipped with an 18-point LED level meter with excellent visibility.
This product is not a CD duplicator. It does not have the ability to duplicate CD-DA using digital signals. *CR500’s write format is track-at-once. Please note that this product cannot produce CDs for press mastering. Index/track numbers cannot be updated during recording.
<Additional functions in Version 1.10

In CD-DA recording, pressing the SHIFT key + RECORD key during recording will advance the track number.
Note: Automatic track number increment is not possible. When played back on a CD player other than CR500, a silent interval of about 100 msec. occurs between tracks; when played back on CR500, the tracks are played back continuously without a silent interval.
