The MD-350 is an extensively equipped minidisk
recorder which combines advanced MD technology and easy operation in one.
This system includes recording and reproduction functions which make even
the work of professionals easier. Take for example the level-controlled
sync-record function, the automatic generation of track numbers (auto-track)
and silence (auto-space), not to mention the auto-ready (automatic pausing
at the beginning of each track) and auto-cue functions (for finding the
audio beginning of the selected track). With pitch-control, the pitch can
be changed by up to ±12% in order to be adjusted to the pitch of other
audio sources. The integrated sampling monitor ensures that signals
received at the digital input are output at the analogue output and vice
versa – in fact the MD-350 functions here as a D/A and A/D converter.
Tracks can be edited using a
wide range of functions, the undo function allows the last step to be
reversed, and tracks can also be copied in no time at all. 20-bit A/D and
D/A converters and ATRAC version 4.5 together guarantee high sound quality.
With its multifarious terminals
and carefully designed details, such as a digital input at the front panel
and the possibility of connecting a computer keyboard, the MD-350 fits
right in with any professional environment.
