Multiple LX20s can be synchronized without any external hardware, and without giving up any tracks, to expand your digital recording system. In addition to conventional analog inputs and outputs, a “master” digital I/O carries all eight tracks simultaneously via optical cable, allowing for lossless signal transfers between ADAT interfacecompatible devices (tape recorders, hard disk recorders, synthesizers, signal processors, etc.). The LX20 offers 20-bit recording to tape using the ADAT Type II format, along with a choice of a 44.1 or 48 kHz sampling rate (with 64 times oversampling), for better-than-CD quality sound. The LX20 can record over an hour of audio on a standard S-VHS tape cassette. Here are some of the LX20’s most significant features: To take full advantage of the LX20’s functions, and to enjoy long and trouble-free use, please read this manual carefully.
