Alesis ADAT StudioPack Puts Recording
Studio in a Box
January 28, 1999Alesis introduces ADAT StudioPack, a complete digital
recording and mixing system in an affordably priced ready-to-go carton.
ADAT StudioPack provides everything necessary for digital recording, mixing,
effects and dynamics processing in a single box. ADAT StudioPack is comprised
of award-winning products from the Alesis line, including the ADAT-LX20,
Studio 24, NanoVerb, and NanoCompressor. StudioPack also contains all
the cables to connect the system and an instructional video with helpful
tips to assemble and take advantage of the system's powerful capabilities.
This complete system of professional-quality components, with a value
totaling more than $3000, is available to customers for $1999 USD MAP
(minimum advertised price).
"Because Alesis has such a broad product range we can put these
quality components together at a really great price," comments Jim
Mack, Alesis vice president of sales and marketing. "Each of the
units in StudioPack was developed with the same technology that has helped
thousands of industry professionals produce top-ten records."
"The advantage of a component-based system over an all-in-one desktop
unit is that it can easily be expanded as the customer's needs grow,"
said Mark Frederick, Alesis director of sales. "The ADAT is modular
and the mixer's numerous inputs and outputs make it possible to connect
more equipment over time which helps the dealer maintain a relationship
with the customer."
The ADAT-LX20, an ADAT Type II 20-bit recorder, is compatible with every
one of the more than 100,000 ADATs in use today. The Studio 24 recording
console offers inline monitoring, so eight channels can be monitored and
up to 20 sources can be sent to tape at the same time without repatching
the cables. The NanoVerb Digital Effects Processor provides a solid way
to add reverb, delay, chorus, flange, and multieffects to mixes. The NanoCompressor
Peak/RMS Stereo Compressor/Limiter rounds out the StudioPack with simple,
highly effective dynamics processing and limiting.
The ADAT StudioPack also contains all the cables required to hook up
the entire studio system. Two eight-channel RCA snakes to send audio between
the ADAT and the Studio 24, two stereo 1/4" cables to send signals
to and from the NanoVerb, and two insert cables for connecting the NanoCompressor
to the mixer.
The free StudioPack instructional video includes a step-by-step tutorial.
The StudioPack video describes how to assemble the system, explains the
use of each component, and gives advice on the best way to begin recording,
mixing and processing.
ADAT StudioPack is scheduled to ship in February 1999. For more information, visit Alesis at www.alesis.com. |
