JoeCo BBR64MADI 64ch BlackBox Recorder - MADI I/O inc 8ch Balanced Input

The groundbreaking JoeCo BLACKBOX BBR64MADI multi-track MADI recorder can capture a full 64 channels of MADI data at standard sample rates directly to Broadcast WAV files on an external USB2 drive. Double sample rate MADI recording (up to 96kHz) is also accommodated.

The recorder sports both coaxial and optical MADI connections for interfacing with any MADI equipped console or other equipment. Additionally, the BBR64-MADI caters for 56-channel legacy MADI and can record a further 8 channels of analogue (balanced line in) for capturing the audience reaction or general ambience.

The BBR64-MADI will lock to or generate word clock, as well as locking to the received MADI data stream. The MADI input is echoed direct to the output to ease system integration. In addition to the PFL bus providing both high-resolution metering and headphone monitoring, an additional “mix” feature has been added to the headphone output.

All BLACKBOX Recorders are designed and built to exacting standards with rugged construction and a suite of unique multi-track audio capture features. The choice of professional users, the BBR64-MADI multi-track MADI recorder is the solution the professional audio industry chooses and trusts.
