Zaxcom, the company that engineered the first digital wireless microphone and the first wireless microphone to feature integrated audio recording, now markets its Fusion High-Resolution Audio Recorder/Mixer.

Designed to replace the multiple mixers and portable recorders that normally would be required to support mixing and recording of audio to camera via RF link or hardwired cable, the new unit is optimized for use in reality television, surround recording, and ENG applications. It can be used to mix together 16 inputs to eight output busses for recording up to eight tracks.

Eschewing a hard drive, the Fusion system records to two CompactFlash cards simultaneously, making it extremely lightweight. With Fusion’s DSP-based audio tools, users can adjust more than 300 mixer cross-points and 200 controllable parameters. Four balanced AES inputs with sample-rate conversion allow eight channels of audio to come from four different devices with varying sample rates or unlocked sample-rate clocks. Fusion also provides a package of audio effects.
