MicroTrack II takes your mobile recording experience to the next stage.
* The Professional Choice
M-Audio's MicroTrack handheld recording technology has been embraced
across the digital media production spectrum. From cutting-edge music
producers and Hollywood sound designers to top-shelf video game
developers and photojournalism agencies, working pros depend on the
MicroTrack for reliability and pristine sound quality. They've tested
the unit in all kinds of conditions?so you know your MicroTrack II
will deliver every time.
* High-Fidelity Recording on the Go
At about the size and weight of a deck of cards, MicroTrack II will
go anywhere you need to record. But don't let its small size fool you?
this rugged device is in the same class as our critically acclaimed
audio interfaces. Pro-quality preamps complete with full 48V phantom
power will work with your favorite condenser microphones virtually
anywhere you need to capture audio?all the way up to 24-bit/96kHz.
* Applications Galore
When you carry MicroTrack II as your songwriter's notebook, you'll
never miss a moment of inspiration. The recorder's mobility and mic
preamps also make it ideal for recording practice sessions and gigs,
not to mention capturing film-quality sound effects in the field.
Balanced 1/4" TRS line inputs also make it easy to take a feed
directly from a studio or club mixer. S/PDIF input means that you
can even record the output of digital mixers and do transfers from
other digital recording/storage devices. And regardless of how you
choose to record, you can monitor via the 1/8" stereo headphone jack
or RCA line outs.
* Post MP3s to the Web?Instantly
Since MicroTrack II lets you record directly to MP3 files and transfer
them instantly to the computer via high-speed USB 2.0, you can e-mail
or post high-quality recordings to the Web immediately. Musicians can
e-mail demos to writing/production partners and record companies when
the inspiration strikes. Business users can easily upload meetings and
presentations for review and wider dissemination. Educators can post
classes, lectures and seminars without delay. Faith-based organizations
can quickly broadcast worship services and speakers. Professional
presenters can create and sell back-end collateral content almost
instantly?and the list goes on.
* Flexible Recording
Like many of today's ultra-compact digital cameras, MicroTrack II
records to CompactFlash or Microdrives. Capacity is based on the
recording format selected and the size of the currently inserted media.
For example, a 1GB CompactFlash card or Microdrive will hold
approximately 100 minutes of uncompressed CD-quality 16-bit stereo
44.1kHz WAV files. That same 1GB media will store 1500 minutes of
speech-quality stereo MP3 audio at 96kbps. Of course, you can use and
swap out whatever capacity media suits your needs.
* Simple Transfers
You can record as many unique files as the capacity of your available
storage allows. Then just connect MicroTrack II to your PC or Mac via
high-speed USB 2.0, and it appears as a USB mass storage device showing
the unique identification number of each file. Just drag and drop the
files to your computer's hard drive and your audio will be ready to
edit and/or post to the Web. The included software even gives you the
power to easily edit your files and convert between file formats.
* Power to Go
MicroTrack II is powered via a long-life lithium-ion battery. You can
record for approximately four to five hours on a single charge (or
about three hours with phantom power engaged). You can also use an
optional USB battery pack for additional hours of top-quality recording?
there are many inexpensive options available at your local consumer
electronics retailer. Recharge the battery by simply connecting
MicroTrack II to a PC or Mac via USB, or using the included power supply.
* Beyond DAT
The MicroTrack II recorder represents a far better way to acquire audio
than DAT, especially in the field. To start, MicroTrack II features
solid-state media and electronics, making it significantly quieter, more
compact, reliable and resilient. Where delicate DAT tapes are
comparatively hard to find, CompactFlash and Microdrives are readily
available, and the price per megabyte keeps plummeting. Perhaps even more
compelling, audio data transfers from MicroTrack II to your computer
almost instantly?no more waiting around for real-time DAT transfers. And
the recorder's media can even double as storage for other devices such as
digital cameras.
* Use Your Own Microphone
The MicroTrack II is optimized for use with professional condenser
microphones and balanced TRS cables. Please visit this FAQ to confirm
