OVERVIEW
Front Panel View - Digital Audio Recorder Model DAR-100
The Digital Audio Recorder Model DAR-100 represents the state of the art in solid-state
audio recording and playback devices. It is capable of recording and storing one mono
audio track with a duration of up to 11 minutes total, depending on what sample rate con-
figuration has been selected.
Audio is loaded into the DAR-100 from virtually any analog audio source (tape deck, CD
player, microphone, PC sound card, etc.). In the recording process audio material is con-
verted internally into digital format and stored on digital FLASH PROM memory chips.
There are absolutely no moving parts and memory is completely non-volatile: audio
tracks are safe even during extended power failures.
On playback, the stored digital data is retrieved from memory and re-converted back into
the original (analog) format. Audio tracks can be played back directly into conventional
audio speakers, headphones, handsets or other audio equipment. Playback is initiated
from the front control panel or by visitors from a wide variety of external switches (push-
buttons, motion sensors, etc.). Audio tracks can also be looped for continuous and back-
ground sound applications.
When the built-in PowerSaver circuit is enabled, power is automatically shut off to the unit
between play cycles, allowing the system to be used effectively in solar and battery- pow-
ered applications where power consumption is critical.
At Stop and Listen we have gone to great lengths to ensure that your new DAR-100 rep-
resents the ultimate in durability and ease of use. As you become more familiar with the
DAR-100 you will find that the on-board recording features can add a whole new dimen-
sion to your application.
