Multi - Track Linear PCM Recorder
The pioneering LS-100 offers a level of sound quality and a range of recording versatility that is sure to impress even the most revered
professionals in the music, production or broadcasting industries. Robustly built for on-the-job reliability, it is equipped with a host of
high-performance features including an XLR connection for individually setting the recording level for the L/R channel and phantom
power supply (48V/24V) - producing professional studio-level results every time. High-end directional microphones able to capture up to
an impressive 140dB sound level and premium amplifier circuitry are dedicated to capturing full depth and accurate audio imaging, be
it from a loud rock concert or the delicate sound of a classic instrument. The superior true stereo 90° microphone system is enhanced
further by advanced in-built technology such as a low-cut filter for reduced noise and adjustable mic sensitivity, also delivering an
outstanding S/N ratio. Linear PCM (24bit / 96kHz) recording is complemented by Broadcast Wave Format (BWF) and multi-tracking
capabilities, enabling professionals to record, edit, tweak and re-record multiple sound sources with maximum flexibility, culminating in
a cohesive audio whole of outstanding clarity. Further flexibility is provided by overdubbing, pre-, automatic and remote* recording. The
LS-100 is professional in every respect - and delivers portable recording at a high performance level. (*optional)
