The ARIA STUDIOTRACK IIII 504 is a high-quality multi-track cassette recorder
capable of producing professional musical recordings and demo tapes.
It is
recommended for rack-mounting in a standard 18" equipment rack, or can be
used as a stand-alone unit on a desktop.
All user inputs and control surfaces are on the front of the unit, providing easy
access while recording. Standard ¼" jacks are used for inputs and headphones.
Multiple RCA outputs on the rear of the unit allow for mix monitoring, separate
track monitoring, effects loops and master mixes. A footswitch jack is provided
for punch-in recording.
Each channel has an individual VU Meter to monitor recording and playback
levels, reducing the possibility of distortion during tracking. A pitch knob adjusts
the speed of pre-recorded material to match the tuning of different instruments.
Recorded channels can be "bounced" to other tracks, allowing more tha n four
tracks to be recorded in a single mix. Individual or multiple tracks can be
monitored "solo" to listen to a performance without background instruments.
