Fostex UR2, High Definition Solid State Recorder

The UR2 is a stereo recorder with a difference. Instead of using CDs or DATs, it stores data on to one of two SD cards, or a conventional USB memory stick inserted in the front of the device. Of course, it also works as a playback device, and can play audio stored on any of the three flash memory devices. Currently, the device can only play WAV files (at common sample rates between 44.1kHz and 96kHz with 16- or 24-bit wordlengths), but Fostex hope to implement MP3-playback capabilities with the release of a firmware update some time before the end of 2008.

Recorded data is saved in BWAV (Broadcast WAV) format and, should the capacity of one card be reached, the recording will continue on the second installed card. It’s compatible with the SDHC format (Secure Digital High Capacity), giving the user a theoretical maximum recording time of over 30 hours, recording at 24-bit/96kHz, when using a pair of the largest 32GB cards! A PC connection, which uses the USB 2.0 protocol, enables the user to retrieve the audio from the UR2, for editing and post-production.
