Fostex MR8MKII
The ultimate record-anywhere multitrack.
Capture inspiration whenever and wherever you are. The new MR-8 Mk II is the easiest
to use digital multitrack ever. If you can operate a tape recorder, you'll be recording
and multitracking within minutes of opening the box.
By putting all the major controls and functions right there on the top panel instead
of buried in a confusing menu system, the MR-8 Mk II, unlike some other recorders,
actually aids you in capturing your musical ideas. In addition there's great sounding
built-in digital effects, guitar amp and mic simulators, handy mix-down effects,
plus the ability to hook up to a PC for data editing, and backing up your songs.
You create. Fostex records.
New for the Mk II is the USB host feature which allows for the easy connection of
an 'off-the-shelf' CD-R burner via USB. Making CD masters has never been more simple.
