Introduction
to
the
32
and
Its
Design
Philosophy
No
matter
how
elaborate
a
multichannel
tape
recorder
is,
it
doesn't
do
the
job
without
help.
A
lot
of
equipment
is
involved,
and
a
lot
of
talent
as
well.
The
recorder
becomes
the
key-
stone
in
a system
that
involves
microphones,
mixers,
loudspeakers,
amplifiers
and
many
sophisticated
electronic
devices.
Everything
contributes
a
part
to
the
system
of
multichannel

channel
recorder/

we
have
included
the
features,
cir-
cuits
and
controls
necessary
for
a
wide
variety
of
applications.
For
example,
true
stereo
remote
recording
with
a
minimum
amount
of
extra
equipment
is
made
possible
by
the
inclusion
of
microphone
preamplifiers,
pads
and

Either
channel
may
be
recorded
while

tioning
the
other
In
true
“sync”
(overdub
capability)
and
a
recording
can
commence
while
the
tape
is
rolling

EDIT,
and
inde-
pendent
signal
selection
for
the
reproduce
amplifiers
regardless
of
record
status
make
the
32
a
useful
tool
in
the
business
of
recording,
whatever that business is, multitrack, multi-
media, remote stereo or fixed location studio
operation.
It has long been our contention that profes-
sionalism is:defined by people and what results
they achieve. It’s not something that auto-
matically happens when you buy a tape machine
with a lot of tracks, or at a very high price. It’s
what you do with the equipment and how
well you do it that makes the point.
In designing the 32, we believe we have been
guided by the multichannel! system as it truly
is. We are sure our recorder/reproducer can
deliver the performance necessary to achieve
solid results.
lf you would like to comment on our design
philosophy, please feel free to contact us.
Criticism and comment from our owners has
helped us improve our products and our busi-
ness. We welcome al! feedback.
Please send in the warranty card. Although
it is not absolutely necessary to insure warran-
ty protection, it will allow us to learn some
things about who you are and what you do
with tape. From time to time we mail out
literature and information of interest to the
multichannel recordist. Let us know where
you are and we'll keep in touch.
