Description

The Fostex D-5 was introduced in 1995 as a budget stereo DAT digital recorder.

It is in a 3U rack mountable form and is SCMS free.

Features

Balanced I/O (switchable between +4 and -10 dBu)
AES/EBU & S/P-DIF optical I/O
Selectable frequencies
2 quantisation modes
Highly reliable "Sendust" head
32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz sample frequencies
Up to 4 hours continuous recording at 32kHz (long play mode)
PCM error check function
Recognises CD-Q code during digital signal transfer from CD ensuring accurate P-No.
Table of Contents (TOC) facility
300x wind speed (less than 60 seconds for a 120 minute tape)
Short play & long play
Extensive memory functions
Selectable Recording Times - 120 minutes in SP mode, and 240 minutes in LP mode.
It comes equipped with fully balanced inputs & outputs, AES/EBU & S/P DIF optical digital connectors, as well as a General Purpose Interface (GPI) useful for remote or fader start, S-ID search & Stop.
High-Quality A/D & D/A conversion comes as standard with 1-bit wide-range linear A/D converter and high-speed pulse-flow plus 1-bit D/A converter for excellent sound quality and minimal conversion errors.
