Fostex DV824?

Take a look at

www.fostexdvd.net

and you'll probably find out what you need to know.

12v yes, location use - interesting - it is clearly built for rack
mount use - so that might dictate how you use it. I can't remember if
it has mic IP's.

Good to see you're still there Paul - how is the fall? (or autumn as we
put it!).

Regards,

Simon B

Danny Michael was using one out on location on his cart (as the main
recorder) last month whilst doing Rent. (Thanks for letting me hang out
Danny). Going through a Cooper so don't know about the mic IP's, but
reckon a quick look at the fostex site would tell you. I was interested
myself about the powering - afaik there is no 'indoors/studio' version,
the DC in is it: there'll be an adapter.

No mic pres, line only. Touted as the "21st Century DA88". They may
be right.
