The A-2 is
two track on quarter-inch tape, mastering machine. The standard of the
industry. But with one added attraction. The A-2 has sync. Which means you can
extend its usefulness. When you need to cut a high quality, low noise, low
distortion master, ecord on the A-2 in its normal mode. But when you need to
perform a little fixing up, or you want to do some added production (like
adding a few ideas at the last minute), use the A-2's Sync mode. It's built-in
to give you added performance flexibility for your dollar. Another way personal
Multitrack fits the equipment to your needs. And your wallet.
The A-2
packs all the features and functions of our multitrack recorders into a rugged,
relatively lightweight mastering machine. It includes LED indicators of peak
transient overload in record or playback modes. The A-2 gives you the kind of
quality needed to help you produce stereo masters that truly showcase your
talent.
