Fostex FR-2 LE Details
The FR2-LE is a compact audio recorder designed from the ground-up to meet the needs of professionals in the field. It records to CompactFlash in Broadcast WAV Format (BWF) at 24bit 96kHz quality. It’s equipped with two professional phantom powered XLR microphone inputs (XLR-phone combo) complete with precise control over the recording level.
It features a 1 take = 1 file recording system which eliminates overwrites and the 2 second ‘pre-record’ buffer means there should never be a missed take or lost soundbite. There’s even an MP3 mode and built-in stereo microphones designed for interviews.
Feature rich and elegant in operation, the pedigree of the new FR-2LE looks assured.
Further Details
The FR2-LE records directly to standard Compact Flash cards and offers either BWF or MP3 formats. The lightweight yet rigit chassis of this unit makes it ideal for more portable applications where the size of the larger FR2 is not appropriate.
The small sizes doesn't mean a loss of quality. You still get up to 24 bit 96kHz audio performance and two professional phantom powered XLR mic inputs with precise recording level adjustment control. The FR2 LE also features auto level control, a high pass filter and built-in stereo microphones. USB file transfer, a 2 second Pre Rec buffer and around 8 hours battery operation complete the feature set.
