The industry standard for reliable, high quality audio playback
Industry standard in sound quality and long recording times
AR-NT1R
No Moving Parts
The AR series is world renowned for its reliability. Audio is stored and played
back from Compact Flash or other solid state memory, providing much more
reliable performance than cassettes, CDs, DVDs, HDDs and other
mechanical recording devices. Since audio or MIDI data is recorded directly
to and played back from the memory card. the mechanical wear and tear
and failure over time associated with rotating or winding media is completely
eliminated.
Easy integration with other systems
Link multiple units with sample accuracy
The AR-3000R can be synchronized with external devices using MTC and
MMC. This enables the easy integration of up to 64 tracks of an AR system
with external devices such as video presenters and show control devices.
Using the AR-Link function,
users can build a 64-track
simultaneous playback
system. One AR-3000R
master device can lock up
to 31 units of AR-3000R or
AR-200R together for
sample accurate playback.
Using an installed AR-NT1R
IP networking board a user
can upload files and
playlists, and remotely
control an AR-3000R
using any standard
Ethernet network.
Recording and Playback of MIDI data
When used to record or
play back MIDI data, the
AR performs as a non-
mechanical MIDI
sequencer that can control
or synchronize music or
other event attractions such
as lighting systems, effects
or fountains.
24bit, 48kHz Linear Recording
The AR series’ 24-bit, 48KHz audio sets the standard in audio quality for
fixed installation applications. The AR series represents the industry
standard in high quality audio with up to 48 kHz, 24 bit linear recording and
playback. Users can select from a range of sample rates and recording
times including the latest Roland Digital Audio Coding (RDAC) technology,
which uses less memory with virtually no loss of sound quality and offers
over 140 hours of recording time. For demanding applications up to 2,000
phrases can be stored on the AR-3000R.
Flexible control options
Example of IP control
Network option for AR-3000R
The AR-3000R is the industry leader in flexible control options. Phrases can
be played back using GPI control, RS-232C control, sophisticated internal
playlists and many other options. It can also be triggered using manual front
panel controls. There are also very useful phrase-based parameters like
phrase level, fade in time, crossfade looping and more. Free ARE editing
software makes it very easy to make playlists and import .WAV audio files.
The Industry Standard for extreme reliability
The AR series has set the industry standard for reliability for over 10 years.
The AR-200R/S use solid state media for recording and playback eliminating
failures due to mechanical movements found in CD and DVD players and
guaranteeing no long term sound degradation.
Easily integrate messages with external audio
External audio sources like FM broadcasts or CD playback can be
connected to inputs on the AR’s rear panel. The external audio will then be
ducked to a user selectable level when a message is played by the AR.
Multi-Channel Playback (AR-200R)
Using one AR-3000R as the master, multiple AR-200R units can be locked
together for sample-accurate playback of up to 64 tracks. The system can
also be synchronized to external show control using MTC or MMC.
High quality audio with long recording times
The AR-200R/S support 16 bit/ 48kHz/linear recording as well as RDAC
(Roland Digital Audio Coding) technology that offers very long recording
times with virtually no loss of sound quality. Over 70 hours of audio can be
recorded to the optional memory card.
Installable anywhere
The AR-200R/S can be powered by AC or 9-24V DC. The compact size,
rugged design, and power supply flexibility enables the installation of the
AR-200R/S in just about any application environment.
100% prevention of accidental Play/Stop (AR-200S)
The AR-200S has no control buttons on the front panel. This prevents
the accidental starting or stopping of audio phrase playback, allowing for
a 100% secure installation.
