5050 MARK III-2 Two Channel Recorder

IN 1994, YOUR STATION IS SURE TO HAVE ONE FAMILIAR FACE.

The compact console version of the legendary OTARI 5050 "B" is built to be around for many years. It's the ¼" two-channel professional machine that has been designed with the performance, features and flexibility a broadcaster needs—today and well into tomorrow.

The rugged MARK III-2 has three-speed capability (field-selectable in pairs of 7.5/15 or 3.75/7.5 ips) with ±7% vari-speed, dynamic braking for gentle tape handling, and it's the only machine in its price category that's available with a full-function autolocator. The MARK III-2 also features an external machine control interface connector for use with SMPTE time code-based synchronizers or the autolocator. Front panel record calibration adjustments, two-frequency oscillator and an extra ¼-track playback head are just a few of the helpful production features we've built in.

After you compare features, performance and price, you can feel comfortable making an investment in the machine that's built for the real world.
