Title: Fostex FR-2
Post by: BobW on December 27, 2003, 11:04:59 PM

Interesting new toy.  ::)

Looks like SonicSense has one or at least a mock-up.
Has anyone actually tried one ? Got a  price ?

What can we expect from the analog section and the A/D being a Fostex product ?

From a previous thread (the search function works wonders):


"Thanks to Phil, we have the dimentions of the Fostex FR-2.  It is 240mmx100mmx210mm which is 9.6x4x8.4
The estimated price point $1500.00"

Well, I've worked with the PD-4 and the front end is pretty solid.  A little brittle on the A>D, if they use the same chip it will be an AKM.  Good solid stuff, though...

I didn't find any information about an internal HD.  What capacity is the drive?
