The new ¼·inch 2·track recorder with a finish.

Otari MX5050 MK II·2 for uncompromising recordists.

The MX5050 MK II-2 photographed from above at a steep angle against a ground that fades from dark grey to white: two reels on the transport, the head assembly under its cover and the row of transport buttons along the front, the whole deck in a cabinet with light-coloured side cheeks, and the separate electronics unit standing up behind it with two VU meters and its level knobs.⤢ zoomThe MX5050 MK II-2 photographed from above at a steep angle against a ground that fades from dark grey to white: two reels on the transport, the head assembly under its cover and the row of transport buttons along the front, the whole deck in a cabinet with light-coloured side cheeks, and the separate electronics unit standing up behind it with two VU meters and its level knobs.

It's a new-generation studio recorder. Compact, full-fledged and thoroughly professional. Separate transport and electronics with complete accessibility. 65 dB S/N and greather-than-55 dB crosstalk. DC servo capstan motor for less than 0.05% wow/flutter, with ±7% pitch control. +19 dBm headroom and 600 ohm +4 dBm output with XLR connectors. Motion sensing control logic. Front panel edit and cue. Stepless bias adjustability. Built-in test and cue oscillator. And there's more: it comes with an interface jack for dbx and Dolby, remote controllability and 4-track playback capability.

In other words, the MKII is the latest masterpiece of Otari's long successful tradition of quarter-inch professional recorders, each with proven reliability in over one thousand critical applications by discriminating broadcasters, studio recordists, a/v professionals and musicians.
