Continuing to build on the name their digital recorders have established in recent years, the BR-600 is the most portable BR to date. This recorder is the most physically streamlined, feature-rich 8-track recorder you'll find. With a host of high-quality effects, V-tracks for added power, an onboard drum machine, a stereo mic and battery power, and a USB port to back up your data, it's ready to truly provide you with a studio on the go. Records to CompactFlash (128MB card included). Includes a carry case and XLR-1/4 inch mic cable.

8 Tracks & Beyond
The BR-600 provides eight simultaneous playback tracks, but there is more than meets the eye. Each of the eight tracks also contains eight V-Tracks (virtual tracks), which gives musicians quick access to 64 tracks of recorded material. They can record dozens of takes, and choose their favorites for mixdown.

BOSS FX
Tracks can be manipulated with the powerful effects built into the BR-600. Derived from BOSS high-end recorders, these quality algorithms can give even the dullest tracks maximum impact: mistakes can be fixed, mixes can be mastered. Included in the effects suite: COSM guitar and bass amp models plus chorus, delay, reverb, and EQ for every channel. Pitch correction is provided as well.

Drum Machine Onboard
The BR-600 has a high-quality drum machine built in. Perfect backing tracks can be assembled from the nearly 300 drum/percussion patterns built in, or beats can be programmed from the velocity-sensitive pads. Rock, Pop, Blues, Country, R&B, Latin, and more - kick-start a song from the many styles provided.

Field Recording
Wherever musicians go, the ultra-portable BR-600 is ready to record. It can operate on six AA batteries (or AC). Quality stereo microphones are built in for point-and-capture recording on the spot. Whether for recording band rehearsals, gigs, or capturing ambient sounds, the BR-600 is all musicians need to get the job done with no hassle.

CompactFlash
The BR-600 records its CD-quality digital audio direct to the included CompactFlash card, the international standard for reliable, portable storage, and even comes with a custom carrying bag and XLR-to-1/4 inch mic adapter.

Highlights:

  • 8 simultaneous playback tracks, 64 V-Tracks
  • CompactFlash memory card slot for storing recording media; 128MB card included
  • Bullt-in FX processor, including pitch corrector and COSM amp models
  • Built-in drum-machine with velocity-sensitive pads
  • Built-in stereo mic and battery power to record anywhere
  • USB for data transfer/computer connectivity
  • Portable and ultra slim: 257 x 182 x 23mm
