  CD-DA/BWF Recording and CD-R/RW Mastering for the Modern Age.  
   

Not only will the new Fostex CR500 professionally master stereo recordings to CD-R/RW, it also offers the world’s first direct Broadcast WAV recording to a UDF formatted disc at up to 24bit/96kHz resolution.
This means, among other things, easy transport to Pro Tools® and other computer-based professional editing environments without audio ripping*.

And as a ‘pro’ mastering machine you get balanced XLR connections, easy track naming via a USB keyboard, LED meters. Plus instant play, fader start, 10 memory points / program play memories per disc and more.

CD-mastering, live recording, BWF file creation, stage, event and broadcast playback. - The new Fostex CR500.

*CD recorded in BWF (UDF1.02) can be recognized only on Windows XP, not on Mac OS (as of May 2006)
