Model 722 Overview

Versatile Recording and Connectivity Options

The 722 model stands out with its versatile recording media options: a 160GB internal hard drive, removable compact flash card, or an external hard drive/DVD-RAM via IEEE-1394 FireWire. It accommodates microphone and line-level analogue inputs, as well as AES3 digital inputs. An external word clock input ensures synchronization of digital inputs with external clock sources. The analogue inputs feature 48-volt phantom power, analogue limiters, and adjustable hi-pass filters with slopes of 12, 18, or 24dB/octave at 40, 80, 160, or 240Hz.

Advanced Recording Features

This model boasts a matrix for recording mono mixes of multiple inputs, in addition to the standard stereo mode. Comprehensive headphone monitoring options include mono or stereo modes, input/track selection, and MS decoding. The 722 supports various recording formats, including mono or poly 16 or 24-bit WAV files up to 192kHz, and MP2 or MP3 files at bit rates up to 320kbps.

Efficient File Management and Connectivity

For seamless file management, the 722 is tailored to meet the rigorous demands of professional field recordists, allowing filenames with user-defined scene and take strings, and time-stamped takes.
