Otari have been at the forefront of professional audio for a very long time and are one of the world leaders in devolping and supplying digital audio equipment. Below are some samples of their products with basic information. More detailed specs etc. are available on the Otari website (link provided on the LINKS page) or we can send you brochures etc. by email or snail mail. Just let us know where to send to.

RADAR 11 digital recorder

The renowned Otari Radar 11 24 track digital recorder is still available, albeit there are not too many left. Even though this product has been superceded by the new system, it is still considered by many to be the best. Radar 11 is more affordable than ever before.

 

 

DB-10 digital on-air console

The DB-10 console's digital audio I/O (four AES/EBU inputs, two SPDIF inputs, two AES/EBU outputs, one SPDIF output) supports 32 kHz-96 kHz sampling (max. 48 kHz for SPDIF). The DB-10 has ten input channel faders. Channels 5-10 are provided with an input A/B switching function. The four channels of microphone inputs are always connected to channels 1-4 (fixed). The remaining two line input channels, six stereo analog input channels, four AES/EBU input channels, and two SPDIF input channels can be freely routed to the A/B inputs of channels 5-10 (maximum configuration: four mono channels + six stereo channels (16 paths in total), minimum configuration: ten mono channels (10 paths in total).

The DB-10 can store the following setups in its internal memory: 99 snapshots, 9 projects (console settings), and 20 compressor presets. By connecting the DB-10 to an external PC via RS-232, snapshots and projects can also be saved/loaded easily. By copying the data files, a DB-10 in another studio can recall the desired setup instantly. With the password protect function, certain items in the menu system can be made accessible to only specified users. There are two user levels (super user and ordinary user), and the DB-10 differentiates the users by the password used to log in. Also, specified buttons can be locked out to prevent misoperation.

One of the unique features of the DB-10 is the fail-safe operation: if the digital system should malfunction, pressing the EMG button connects one microphone path and one stereo line path to the program bus to feed the minimum audio signals to the main output.

To increase the number of channel faders, DB-10 consoles can be cascaded by connecting the first DB-10's PGM output from the AES/EBU output to the second DB-10's AES/EBU input, the PGM buses are shared. A maximum of four DB-10's can be cascaded, and in this configuration the maximum delay time is less than 4.0 ms. In the cascaded consoles, the talkback signal is shared: a talkback microphone on a DB-10 can send signals to the talkback buses of all of the DB-10's.

The separate power supply unit supports 100-240 VAC (and, optionally, 24 VDC); the console can be used in an OB van. By adding one more power supply unit, the power line can be redundantly duplexed for fail-safe operation.

 

ND-20 digital network unit

The ND-20 provides high-quality A/D and D/A conversion as a stand-alone device, or combines with multiple ND-20's into a 96 kHz digital audio network.

Superior analog circuitry, built-in sample rate conversion, and the ability to use multiple sample rates make the ND-20 a complete solution for connecting and networking digital and analog audio.

Each ND-20 unit provides up to 32-channel capacity (16-channel with 96 kHz-sample rate for analog or digital inputs or outputs.

The ND-20 has four slots for I/O cards. Options include Mic Inputs (remotely controlled), Line Inputs, Line Outputs, AES Input/Output. All I/O's are capable of 96 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz sample rates, plus pull-up/pull-down rates. TDIF I/O will also be available.

Sample rate conversion is built into all AES input channels with individual control over each channel.

The ND-20 can be used for A/D or D/A conversion (96 kHz) or for D/D sample rate conversion.

Up to 63 ND-20 units can be connected via cable or fiber optics to provide an audio network capable of 96 channels (48 ch with 96 kHz) signals. By connecting multiple ND-20 units through an IEEE 1394 network, the input audio can be distributed via the network and output in different signal formats. Also, as the ND-20 features a self-routing function, a single ND-20 unit can be used as a high-quality A/D or D/A converter, or a format & sample rate converter for digital audio

FS-96 digital convertor

Five Digital Audio Formats: Input signals in any of ADAT, AES/EBU, SDIF-2, TDIF-1, or MADI (option) formats can be output in all of these formats in parallel.

24-Channel Capacity and Signal Routing: The signal routing function allows the connection between input and output channels to be changed freely.

96 kHz/24-bit: The FS-96 can handle 32 kHz to 96 kHz sample rate and 16- to 24-bit quantization. The built-in sample rate converter can convert the sample rate/bit resolution of the incoming signal.

Same Format Sample Rate Conversion: Whenever audio is input in a given format, the output for that same format is also available, and it can be sample rate converted to the same output format if needed.

High Accuracy Clock Generator: Signals from consumer or semi-professional audio/video equipment can be regenerated as stabler, high-accuracy digital signals.

Setup and Routing Memory: Up to ten machine setups and signal routing can be memorized. The combinations of these settings can be preset in dedicated key buttons for easy recall.

Signal Synchronization: The output signal's reference clock can be selected from input signal, internal clock, and external word clock.

Sample Accuracy Synchronization: The word clock sync output can synchronize multiple FS-96 units at sample accuracy.

Bi-directional Conversion between TDIF and AES/EBU Status Data Editing: Status data in digital audio signals can be edited if necessary.

Expandability: A rear panel slot for an optional board is provided to support coming digital signal formats. Currently, a MADI interface module is available.

LCD Menu Driven Setup Operation: All of the machine setups can be done via the front panel LCD and buttons.

19" Rack Mountable: 19-inch rack mount adapters are included. The unit occupies only a 2U rack space.
