A solution for live, as well as home or project studio, recording,
built with a high-performance record engine.

The SDR24/96 takes its place as the newest member of Mackie's family of hard disk recorders that currently includes both the MDR 24 /96 and the HDR 24/96.


The SDR24/96 has processing power for 24 simultaneous channels at 24-bit/48kHz or 12 channels at 24-bit/96kHz. An internal IDE hard drive provides storage for up to 90 minutes of 24-track recording while an on-board drive bay will accommodate the same Mackie Media M-90 pullout disks and Mackie Media Project drives used by the MDR24/96 and HDR24/96.
Front panel controls are fashioned after familiar tape-based systems. But, unlike tape-based recorders, the new SDR24/96 benefits from true, non-linear recording and editing capabilities. Non-linear recording allows the SDR24/96 to record multiple versions of a track or track segment without destroying the original, nothing is lost. During playback, the recorder recombines the non-linear segments into a seamless stream of audio. In addition, the SDR24/96 is able to significantly increase recording time per gigabyte by efficiently using only the space needed for actual audio.
Ready to use right out of the box, the SDR24/96 comes with fixed rear panel inputs and outputs that include 24 channels of analog via six DB-25 ports, ADAT optical, MIDI I/O for MMC and MTC, SMPTE, and clock inputs and outputs. Also included is a USB port for export of standard .wav files to PC or Macintosh computers. The SDR24/96 is also fully compatible with the new Mackie MicroRemote Controller ($99.00 U.S.) and the existing Remote24.

With features such as cut/copy/paste track editing, multiple un-dos, Sony 9-pin support, and compatibility with multiple remote controllers, the SDR offers professional-level features in a very easy-to-use interface. All analog and digital I/O are built right into the back panel, so integration with mixing consoles and/or digital audio workstations is quick and painless. The SDR is also small and portable enough to be carried from gig to gig. And because the SDR supports tried and true Mackie Media back-up drives, all media are interchangeable from one Mackie recorder to the other.
