Product Description

This versatile, portable and self-contained two-channel recorder and player, designed for use in education and business or by musicians, uses four integral microphones and two external microphone or line-level sources to record to CD or SD memory card. With an in-built metronome and tuner as well as overdub, looping and variable-speed playback functions, the BB-1000CD is suitable for a wide range of applications including music rehearsal and practice. This records directly onto blank CD-R or CD-RW discs in standard CD-DA format, or onto SD or SDHC memory cards as .wav or .mp3 audio files. Recording level can be set with or without automatic gain-control and external audio sources may be mixed with the integral microphones. The unit has a range of special playback features making it very suitable for musical and educational use; these include loop-playback, tempo change at constant pitch, pitch change, a marker/locator system, a metronome and chromatic tuner and an overdub function. A 'Part Cancel' facility reduces the level of vocals or backing on tracks as an aid to music practice. An automatic record-start function can be programmed to start and stop recording according to input signal-level, making the BB-1000CD useful for recording meetings, conferences and seminars. The recorder will burn CD-DA discs with .mp3 files directly sourced from an SD card, or rip CD-DA tracks to .wav or .mp3 files on an SD card. Headphones or the internal 5W loudspeakers may be used for monitoring and play back.
