CDR-882 PROFESSIONAL DUAL DRIVE CD RECORDER
THE ULTIMATE CD RECORDER
The HHB CDR-882 is a dual drive CD
recorder designed from the ground up
for uncompromised professional
performance. With ‘DiscSpan’ seamless
extended recording across two or more
discs, simultaneous ‘DualBurn’ recording
of two discs, and high speed duplication,
the CDR-882 is equipped for a wide
range of professional applications
including live sound recording, plus use
in houses of worship.
AUDIOPHILE CIRCUIT DESIGN FOR HIGH-END
SONIC PERFORMANCE
The CDR-882 features full 24-bit A/D and D/A
converters and a high-quality quartz crystal-
derived internal clock. Unlike inferior CD
recorders, the CDR-882 dithers the 24-bit A/D
sample to the 16-bit CD format. Audiophile-grade
analog circuitry also plays a key role in ensuring
superior sonic performance.
TOUGH, PROFESSIONAL BUILD QUALITY
The pursuit of excellence continues in the area of
build quality, with the CDR-882 weighing in at
6.7kg / 14.7lbs. High quality IDE CD-R drives are
mounted in a massive steel chassis to ensure
reliable, glitch-free recording, even in unfavourable
environments including live concerts where
ambient noise levels can be particularly high.
Custom drive firmware ensures seamless track
increments and full compatibility with CD Text.
WIDESPREAD MEDIA COMPATIBILITY
The CDR-882 is compatible with a huge range of
CD-R media (including data discs), both low and
high speed up to 52X, enabling high-speed
duplication from one drive to the other at speeds
limited only by the media being used.
COMPREHENSIVE FEATURE SET
A full complement of professional features equips
the CDR-882 for a wide variety of pro CD
recording and replay applications. Track IDs may
be manually created, or auto-generated from the
digital input, audio level threshold or time period,

both user definable. DiscSpan mode overcomes the 80 minute
limit of CD recording, by extending the recording across
multiple discs. Tracks IDs are inserted when the next disc
starts and when user-definable fade out and
fade in start and finish. With an overlap
between the two discs, the whole program can
either be played back uninterrupted in the
CDR-882, or easily reconstructed in a DAW
using the track IDs to precisely align the audio
from the two or more discs. DualBurn mode
records two discs simultaneously producing
two identical discs ideal for redundant or client
copies. Up to four recorders (ie eight drives) may be linked
together producing 640 minutes of uninterrupted recording.
The CDR-882 supports CD Text, and uses it
to identify multi-disc recordings and the
correct order.
The versatility of the CDR-882 is enhanced
further by the inclusion of Sync Record and
Disc Copy modes, plus a Program mode to
enable selective track record/replay.

CDR-882 APPLICATIONS
DiscSpan
DiscSpan mode overcomes the 80 minute limit of CD recording
by extending the recording across multiple discs. DiscSpan
allows the user to set overlap and fade in/out durations when
switching between discs with Track IDs automatically written to
each disc to mark the transition.
On playback the CDR-882 uses these Track IDs to provide
uninterrupted programme audio. In addition the Track IDs provide
precise reference markers when reconstructing the recording in
a DAW.
