Professional CD Recorders
CD-RW901 and CD-RW900 are rugged CD Recorders for high-quality audio
recording on CD-R and CD-RW media in
professional and semi-professional areas.
Differences can be found among their
features, while audio performance is
virtually identical for both units.
Over the CD-RW900, the CD-RW901
offers balanced analogue inputs and
outputs and can receive and output
digital audio not only in SPDIF format
but also in professional AES/EBU format.
Furthermore, it offers parallel and serial
(RS-232C) ports for easy integration into
media control systems. With its Auto Cue,
Auto Ready and Call functions as well as
additional editing capabilities for track
and index marks, the CD-RW901 is ideal
for live applications in broadcast studios,
theatres or permanent installations, while
the CD-RW900 is a good choice for home
and live concert recording or for any other
semi-professional use.
