INTRODUCTION
1.0
Overview
The
APR
-
5000
Series
represents
a
line
of
full
-
feature
professional
audio
recorder
/
reproducers
for
broadcasting
,
recording
studio
,
video
,
and
film
production
environments
.
This
machine
incorporates
the latest
digital
technology
available
,
with
computer
controlled
transport
and
audio
electronic
techniques
unsurpassed by
any
other
recorder
of
its
type
.
The
transport
is
built
around
a
high
-
strength
,
low
-
mass
aluminum
casting
,
and
is
mechanically
designed
so
that all
boards
are
easily
accessible
.
A
16
-
bit
microprocessor
corrects
for
any
variations
in
transport
operation
,
offering
precise
speed
stability
and
superior
tape
handling
.
The
servo
controlled
capstan
motor
is
referenced
by
the
microprocessor
controller
to
a
quartz
crystal
,
and
is built
with
a
ceramic
shaft
for
durability
and
accurate
operation
.
Tedious
trim
pot
audio
adjustments
have
been
replaced
with
a
microprocessor
-
controlled
alignment
feature
.
Up
to
three
separate
alignments
can
be
stored
per
speed
,
allowing
for
maximum
flexibility
when
changing
between
alternative
tape
types
,
reference
fluxivities
,
overbias
settings
,
or
record
/
reproduce
equalization
standards
.
This
allows
the
calibration
of
the
machine
to
be
changed
at
the
push
of
a
button
.
Also
,
each
headstack
has
its
own
identification
code
,
making
it
possible
to store
another
complete
set
of
preset
alignments
for
each
different
headstack
type
.
O
Both
serial
and
parallel
remote
control
ports
are
provided
for
integration
with
external
automation
and
editing
systems
.
Remote
and
local
synchronization
features
are
available
for
EBU
,
SMPTE
Drop
Frame
,
and
SMPTE
Non
-
Drop
Frame
Time
Code
formats
,
as
well
as
for
VITC
and
pilot
tone
signals
.
The
APR
-
5000
establishes
a new
level
of
functional
intelligence
and
overall
flexibility
in
an
analog
professional
recorder
.
It
is
available
in
desktop
and console
configurations
for
ease
of
installation
in
any
environment
.
