The DV-RA1000 is a professional solution for recording high-definition audio at up to 192kHz/24bit to inexpensive CD or DVD+RW media. It also features Sony's DSD format, the basis for the audiophile Super Audio CD (SACD) and DVD Audio, as an available recording format.
As a sophisticated CD recorder, the DV-RA1000 is able to create standard audio CDs (CD-DA) in studios or meeting room installations. When operated as a professional master recorder, users can record WAV and DSDIFF files directly to CD and DVD discs and transfer such files via USB 2.0 connection to and from a computer.
Professional inputs and outputs include balanced analogue XLR and unbalanced analogue RCA connections, digital AES/EBU I/O (running at normal, double-speed or double-wire formats) and SDIF-3 I/O (for external conversion and processing of DSD audio).
Advanced features like Word Sync In, Out and Thru, Wired remote control, RS-232 serial control and multiband compression and EQ establish the DV-RA1000 as the new standard for studio mastering recorders.
