Using SD media for recording ensures increased reliability and means that you never have to be concerned about hard driveВ failure. The R8 records directly to SD cards, with support for both standard SD and SDHC cards up to 32 gigabytes, for a maximum of 100 track hours. The R8 can also be powered via USB when connected to aВ computer. Alternatively, you can use the included AD-17 AC adapter, which allows you to power the R8 from any standard wall socket. Battery life when using alkaline batteries is more than 5 hours, even during continuous recording. Just 4 AA batteries-either alkaline or rechargeable NiMH-are required for power.

When operating at a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, input signal can be routed through the R8's onboard DSPВ effects. Effects can be applied during recording and mixdown, or can be used for playbackВ only.ДЄ USB port allows the R8 to send and receive digital data and to act as an 2-input/2-output interface for DAWs such as the included Cubase LE.
