is this cool? (as seen in Ebay sales forum)

[H₂O]

From what I remember this unit came out at about the same time as the Original FR-2 (2004 timeframe or so).   It does record 24/192 (I do not know how many channels at once).  It has a 6 channel mixer built in and it records to DVD-RAM (3" 2.8GB discs) as primary recording media.  It does have the option for an internal 2.5" Hard Drive - so if you are interested in the one on ebay you will want to ask if it has this option (which I would assume it does not).


It is pretty big and was about $10K when new so I would guess the only people on this board whom may have used this unit would be professionals.

"24-bit 48Khz across 6 tracks...stereo at 24-bit 96Khz"  24-192 one 1 track -> This may be a limitation of the DVD-RAM drives speed though
