Portastudio
|
|
The 424 MKIII is a direct descendant of the original 144 of 1978. A real personal recording studio with a professional mixing console and a logic-controlled cassette deck in a single easy-to-use unit.
The 424 MKIII is equipped with powerful musical EQ on all six input channels, flexible auxiliary and monitoring systems, and a comprehensive range of inputs and routing options.
With a sophisticated 4-track tape recorder using logic control to provide a range of automated functions, the 424 MKIII gives you the power to fully explore and exploit the creative possibilities of multitracking.
