Yamaha's Unveils CDR1000 Professional
CD Recorder
 February 6, 2000
Yamaha is presenting the new CDR1000 professional CD recorder
at Winter NAMM 2000. 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 will be delivering in February.
"The CDR1000 is a powerful audio recorder that consumers need to
see," remarks John Schauer, pro audio product manager. "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."
