FR-2
Field Memory Recorder (Chapter 1: Product overview)
Overview
The Model FR-2 is a portable two-track field memory recorder for profes-
sional use, which records to CompactFlash cards or Flash ATA cards. You can
make high quality recording either in stereo or mono.
Designed specifically for location recording, the FR-2 is a portable and light-
weighted machine, offering simple and easy-to-use operation. You can oper-
ate the FR-2 on batteries or on the optional AC adaptor.
The FR-2 provides two types of USB ports, allowing PC and USB keyboard
connection. By making PC connection, you can easily transfer audio files
from the FR-2 to a PC and edit the files on it.
Main features
• Two card slots are provided; one for TYPE II CompactFlash cards, the
other for Flash ATA cards. You can use either of these slots according
to the card used.
• Two ways to supply the power to the unit; batteries (alkaline, Ni-Cd, or
Ni-HM batteries) and the optional AC adaptor (Model AD12-1300).
• Supports the FAT32 file system. The Broadcast Wave File (BWF)
recording file format (interleave 1 file mode) is used, which enables
exporting files to a DAW such as Pro Tools.
• Supports a variety of sampling frequencies/quantization bits.
24-bit at 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz.
16-bit at 22.056 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
• The "Pre Record" function, a useful feature for location recording,
enables FR-2 to constantly store up to approximately 20 seconds of
audio to the internal buffer. When you start recording, the previous
data is first delivered from the buffer (you can edit the time length of
audio stored in the buffer using the Setup menu in the MENU mode).
• Provides the input selector, trim control, high-pass filter and limiter
for each of left and right channels independently.
• 128 x 64 highly visible, low power consumption, backlit dot matrix
LCD display shows various information.
• USB port for PC connection. By connecting a PC directly, you can
transfer audio files (WAV files) between the FR-2 and the PC.
• USB port for keyboard connection. By connecting a USB keyboard, you
can make some of setting or editing operations from the keyboard,
instead of operations using the FR-2 panel keys.
(Note that operations which you can make from a keyboard are
limited.)
• You can set a marker (cue point) at a desired point during recording
(up to 99 cue points can be set per file).
You can locate or skip to a desired cue point quickly.
