Discussion Of Results

 

The frequency response variations are similar for all modes and limited to frequencies below 100 Hz, and probably quite hard to hear. The output DAC seemed to compromise the SNR of program material played-back through it. This recorder records analog program material at 48 KHz sample rate. It responds to SCMS codes in material being recorded in accordance for the standards for "non-professional" recorders.
