Fostex FR-2LE Field Recorder. Fostex have built upon the tradition established by their long history of successful location recorders with the launch of the new FR-2LE - a compact audio recorder designed from the ground-up to meet the needs of professionals in the field.

The FR-2LE records to Compact Flash in Broadcast WAV Format (BWF) at 24bit 96kHz quality. It's equipped with two professional phantom-powered XLR microphone inputs (XLR-phone combo) complete with precise control over the recording level.

It features a 1 take = 1 file recording system which eliminates overwrites and the 2 second 'pre-record' buffer means there should never be a missed take or lost soundbite. There's even an MP3 mode and built-in stereo microphones designed for interviews.

Feature rich and elegant in operation, the FR-2LE will be a natural tool for all location recordists.
