Mobile future-proof digital recording has arrived with the 1-bit Korg MR-1. The MR-1 professional mobile recorder is an ideal, affordable solution for source recording, podcasting, broadcast journalism including ENG/EFP, as well as archiving final mixes and master recordings.
With the pristine fidelity and ultimate flexibility of 1-bit technology (used for the SACD recrding format), the Korg MR-1 ensures that your location recordings and final masters are never obsolete, since the included AudioGate software coverts the 1-bit recordings into WAV and AIFF formats at various bit rates. The hand-held MR-1 provides high-quality 1-bit/2.8 MHz recording and playback in a shirt-pocket portable package that is perfect for location recording, broadcast journalism, podcasting, live music performances even for rehearsals and song-writing sessions.
By recording in 1-bit/2.8 MHz format the Korg MR1 assured that your location recordings benefit from a dynamic range of 120 dB and requency response from DC to 100 kHz for lifelike imaging and analogue quality depth. Files mixed and mastered in today's state of the art resolution may be insufficient for tomorrow's formats. Archiving your final mixes and masters in a 1-bit system allows you to avoid these issues, and preserve your music with both the highest fidelity and in a more "universal" format. That data then can more easily be converted at a later date to the bit depth/sample rate format of your choice without compromising the integrity or fidelity of the data. You can even convert to newer formats that will be adopted in the future, be they multi-bit or a further migration to the 1-bit format.
The portable MR-1 includes dual balanced mini plug inputs, a stereo mini plug output, and includes a stereo electret condenser mic so the MR-1 recorder can be hidden away and the mic clipped or placed in a convenient location. High speed USB 2.0 connectivity allows easily file transfer to and from a computer. The MR-1 runs on AC or long-life rechargeable lithium polymer battery. The maximum continuous recording time of the Korg MR1 is approximately six hours when using the included AC adapter.
Powerful AudioGate Mac and PC software bundled with the MR-1 recorder allows real-time conversion and playback of your 1-bit recordings and mixes into WAV and AIFF audio formats. The MR-1 supports multiple recording formats including DSDIFF, DSF, and WSD 1-bit formats, and multi-bit BWF PCM format with resolutions up to 24-bit/192 kHz. AudioGate also does essential functions like DC offset removal, gain control, and fade in/out. By archiving your audio data in 1-bit format you're ready for the future, as playback systems and standards change. The Korg MR-1 features an internal 20 Gbyte hard drive. A total of one thousand projects can be recorded in the MR-1, and file management functions such as Rename, Delete, and Protect can be easily applied to individual projects. Up to one hundred mark points can also be stored in each project.
The portable MR-1 features a lightweight yet rugged metal housing with sleek, streamlined design. A large backlit LCD offers optimum visibility under all lighting conditions.
