Fostex FR-2 Field Memory Recorder

Designed specifically for location sound recording, broadcast & sound effects acquisition, TV & radio documentary, and in fact any application where high quality audio recording is required, the Fostex FR-2 sets a new price performance ratio in the compact portable two track recorder market.

Flexibility is the keyword with the FR-2. Recording industry-standard Broadcast Wav Files (BWF) to either PCMCIA 1.8" hard drives or Type II Compact Flash cards, the FR-2 brings many features from Fostex's experience as a long-term leader in digital location recording such as a 10 second pre-record buffer, battery power, on-board limiter, and phantom powered balanced mic inputs. Of particular note is the file per take system with scene & auto take naming which was developed on the industry acclaimed PD-6 & DV40.

Specific 'firsts' on the FR-2 include the ability to record up to 24-bit 192KHz, making it the first choice where the highest quality sound effects acquisition is required; and the optional timecode card which has a fully-featured reader/generator, including 23.976, and external word/video references, making it an ideal basic production or location back-up recorder.
