The Fostex D2424LV MkII is a lightweight 24-track, rackmountable hard disk recorder, offering uncompressed audio recording with a 24-bit/96 kHz maximum resolution, a removable front panel remote control, twin internal drive bays, and 24 separate 1/4" TRS analog line inputs supporting both balanced and unbalanced operation. An additional 24 channels of TOSLINK ADAT optical connectivity is also standard.
The D2424LV MkII has been designed as a live hard disk recording solution(though it is certainly not limited to that application), and the Fostex engineering team, aware of the speed and stress involved in capturing the live moment, provides a facile, transparent operating interface notable for a simplicity of navigation combined with depth of control and editing. The result is a live production tool with many post-production, studio-ready features and capabilities.
The D2424LV MkII is capable of recording 24 tracks simultaneously, with full one-touch track arming and input signal check functionality. The unit provides both Word Clock and RS-422 Control connectivity, MIDI implementation with MTC and MMC support, and an optional time code card with LTC and VTC synchronization is also available.
The D2424LV MkII ships with a 20 GB internal E-IDE drive installed in one of its twin drive bays; the other may be used for installing a backup DVD-RAM drive, or an additional hard drive, for backup or recording purposes. A SCSI-2 port is also available for external drive connectivity.
Another feature of the D2424LV MkII is its surprisingly low price - Fostex has made cutting edge multi-track recording features and a high level of professional capability a very affordable reality.

Comments about Fostex D2424LV MkII 24-Track HD Recorder:
Total 110% reliability, and it never crashes unlike PC, and MAC based systems. Also you never loose your data. With a digital mixer, and outboard gear for effects you will be totally satisfied, and be creating broadcast quality work for under 30,000 for the whole shooting match with mics, and cables if your engineering skills are up to that level. A comparable computer based system would cost much much more, and plugins are different from the real units they try to emulate. Do what works for you. Are you a computer technician? When it crashes in the middle of a session can you afford the service contract to a reputable company to repair it properly, and have a tech onsight within the hour? So the producer wants to come back, and the musicians are happy that the problem was solved. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Do you have the knowledge to allign tape heads, and do the maintenance on the machine? I have been a professional engineer for almost 20 years, and I have worked with everything from porta studios, to software, and still hard disc makes the most sence, and has the least headaches, and issues. 2 tape is great but for how inexpensive hard drives are this type of system is the best way to go, and still have money left to hire an acoustical consultant. Also most software companies release the product while it is still not perfected in the testing stages. I have never herd of a piece of hardware released in the the bata testing stage.
Problems Encountered: None this unit is rock solid!
