Yamaha Introduces CDR1000 CD Recorder
September 28, 1999
Yamaha will introduce the new CDR1000 professional audio
CD recorder at the Audio Engineering Society (AES) Convention in New York. Targeting
to the recording studio and project studio, as well as the semi-professional,
the unique CDR1000 audiophile-quality recorder provides CD-R and CD-RW recording
capabilities, sample rate converter and word clock input, as just a few of its
impressive list of features.
"Yamaha's longstanding experience in producing high-quality computer-based
CD-Rs has resulted in the CDR1000, a truly professional CD recorder providing
no-compromise quality and features, in an easy-to-use package," said Wayne
Hrabak, pro audio marketing manager, Yamaha Corporation of America, Pro Audio
& Combo Division. "At this level of quality, the CDR1000 is a logical
extension of Yamaha's commitment to provide exceptional products at affordable
prices."
Some outstanding CDR1000 features that surpass other CD recording units include
the Apogee Electronics UV22 Super CD Encoder, which allows 16-bit encoding of
sources originally recorded at higher bit rates, without additional equipment.
The recorder includes a built-in sample rate converter capable of handling a wide
range of digital sources (29.76 - 48.80 kHz) and a word clock input, which provides
AES/EBU in and out connection pass-through, enabling fully digital integration
into the studio. The CDR1000 provides SPDIF and analog XLR connectors with an
impedance rate of 20 kOhms (with +4 dB/-10dBV switch), well-suited to the requirements
of the professional audio environment.
Selectable copy protection modes, front-panel foot switch input for hardwired
"recording start" control, on-the-dot recording start feature, and full
function I/R remote control also add to the formidable feature set.
A convenient, easy index recording function enables the user to place effective
libraries within a single track while providing easy-to-read 16-segment level
meters with peak hold function, and a quad-speed finalize capability which dramatically
improves editing efficiency. A parallel I/O port, which allows external control
of fader start and other functions, is also included.
"The CDR1000 is a powerful audio recorder that consumers need to see,"
remarks John Schauer, pro audio product manager, Yamaha Corporation of America,
Pro Audio & Combo Division. "The Apogee UV22 Encoding allows seamless
conversion of even 24-bit material. Mastering to CD has never been this easy.
The CDR1000 sounds incredible. To further enhance performance, the word clock
input allows the CDR1000 to be professionally connected into the digital studio."
