However, this situation is about to
change with the machine you see
here - the thoroughly professional,
yet incredible value Fostex CR200
Compact Disc Recorder.
Designed around a rugged copper
chassis, this machine offers
state-of-the-art digital and
analogue audio recording to
standard CD-R media via easy to
use front panel controls.
And don’t confuse ‘easy to use’
with a lack of features.
Fostex have long had a reputation
for designing audio tools packed
with facilities which remain
simple to understand and operate.
The CR200 is no exception.
