Introduction
Thank
you
for
purchasing
the
Fostex
XR-3.
The
XR-3
has
two
inputs
for
line
level
and
mic
level
(switching
type),
and
offers
four
tracks
and
four
channels
with
a
non-directional
built-in
microphone.
The
XR-3
has
been
designed
in
such
a
way
that
even
first-time
users
can
easily
perform
multi-track
recording,
thanks
to
the
minimal
number
of
controls
and
the
user-friendly
panel
indicators.
The
XR-3
uses
a
tape
speed
of
9.5cm/s,
making
it
the
first
double-speed
system
in
this
class
of
multi-trackers.
Dolby
B
noise
reduction
makes
higher-quality
recordings
possible,
in
addition,
our
own
"Auto-bounce"
function
has
made
ping-pong
recording
much
easier.
We
hope
you
wi
11
enjoy
and
make
the
best
use
of
the
Fostex
XR-3,
which
allows
for
"Quick
&
Take"
recording.
Read
this
instruction
manual
thoroughly
before
using
the
product
in
order
to
understand
the
XR-3's
operations
and
to
extend
the
useful
life
of
the
product.
