That Thing That’s Called RADAR Love
“On display at the AES Convention in the early 90’s was a recording device that was truly blazing new territory…The concept of a self contained 24-track recorder with no tape, at a price less than half a new analog two-inch recorder (and far, far less expensive than any 24-channel plus digital multitrack tape machine) was part of the attraction. That the device had both a logical design and a deliberate simplicity was also attractive…In this issue you’ll meet RADAR 6, which brings the same dedication to excellence in converter design, the same practical simplicity of concept and operation, and a thoroughly modern attention to feature set, at a price less than half the cost of the original RADAR, even before accounting for inflation.
