OTARI INTRODUCES NEW GENERATION HALF-INCH EIGHT-TRACK RECORDERS

Announced as the successor to the proven design of Otari's MX5050-8D, the new, compact 5050 Mark III/8 ½-inch eight-channel machine retains all the proven features of its predecessor such as: 15 and 7½ IPS tape speeds, variable speed D.C. servo capstan, selective reproduce for overdubbing, built-in dual frequency test oscillator, easily accessible electronics adjustments, and true, three-head design.

New features of the 5050 Mark III/8 include proprietary microprocessors to provide real time counting with LED display, dynamic braking and transport logic, automatic monitor switching, headphone monitoring for each channel (selectable combinations), and peak reading indicators on each channel.

Additional professional features which are said to make the 5050 Mark III/8 an excellent production machine comprise: separate controls for record status and channel monitoring; master mode switching; memory rewind; and transparent punch-ins and -outs.

The Mark III/8 will be available for delivery from all Otari dealers in July.
