The Otari ½" Four Channel MARK III/4 & ½" Eight Channel MARK III/8
At Otari, the focus of our work is on innovation and problem solving. These values are carefully reinforced by our dedication to quality: they are inherent in every tape recorder we engineer.
The new MARKIII/4, 1/2" four channel production recorder and its companion eight channel version are the embodiment of this philosophy. Both compact recorders are designed with microprocessor circuitry for smooth, responsive transport control and precise electronic counting with an L.E.D. display. True, three head design, selectable +4 or −10dBm input and output levels, 15/7.5 ips with continuously variable speed control, 10-1/2" reel capacity, cue control, and dump edit deliver flexibility that makes your production work move faster. Both models feature selectable headphone monitoring for all channels, a multiple frequency test oscillator and positive-locking NAB reel hub adapters. To achieve every last dB of performance, you won't find a competitive machine that lets you get your hands on a full complement of adjustments as easily.
Add to all this, mastering quality sound and the specs that guarantee it. And, the ability to interface to SMPTE time code synchronizers.
Built with the reliability and craftsmanship that have become the hallmark of our reputation with our 5050 Series two channel machines, we've once again advanced the broadcast industry's most advanced and affordable professional recorders.
From our hands to yours, the new MARKIII/4 and its companion, the MARKIII/8 are engineered like no other tape machines in the world; with qualities you can hear and feel.
