THE NEXT “WORKHORSE.”
View source PDF ↗INTRODUCING THE NEW MX-55
⤢ zoomFour Otari two-channel recorders photographed in two staggered rows against a dark backdrop, OTARI on their reel flanges: at the back an older machine with red side cheeks and a second deck; in front, a BII-style machine with its red LED timer and a pair of lit VU meters, and a larger machine with rows of keys, lit meters and a small badge too blurred in the scan to read. The headline THE NEXT "WORKHORSE." is set in white across the floor in front of them.
THE NEXT “WORKHORSE.”
Before you take us to task for trying to improve the BII, a design that has become the "workhorse" standard for two-channel audio machines, consider what the new MX-55 offers:
An integral autolocator; a voice editing mode that allows 2X speed playback at normal pitch; a built-in cue speaker; GSPIPO (gapless, seamless, punch-in, punch-out),* and because you told us you wanted it, all adjustments are available through the front panel! These, and many more improvements will help make your job easier, and the results more creative.
And for those of you who still won't forgive us, we're keeping the BII in the line. So either way, you can get exactly what you need from Otari; Technology You Can Trust. Call Otari at (415) 592-8311 for information about the new MX-55.
