JoeCo Ships BlackBox BBR64-MADI Recorder

New version records 64 channels of MADI data, while still occupying 

just one unit of rack space

Cambridge, UK, 18th August 2011 - JoeCo Limited is now shipping the 

new BBR64-MADI version of the BLACKBOX RECORDER. Designed for audio 

acquisition and capturing live performance, the recorder enables multi-

channel audio to be captured directly to a USB2 drive, in Broadcast 

WAV format, without the need for a computer.

Based on the tried and tested BlackBox Recorder design, the BBR64-MADI 

records / replays up to 64 channels of MADI data while still occupying 

just one unit of rack space! The recorder can capture the full 64 

channels at standard sample rates, with double sample rate MADI 

recording (up to 96kHz) also accommodated. The unit sports both 

coaxial and optical MADI connections for interfacing with any MADI 

equipped console or other equipment. Additionally, it caters for 56-

channel legacy MADI and can record a further 8 channels of analogue 

(balanced line in) for capturing the audience reaction or general 

ambience.

The BBR64-MADI will lock to or generate word clock, as well as locking 

to the received MADI data stream. The MADI input can be echoed direct 

to the output to ease system integration. Individual channels, or 

pairs of channels can be monitored on a PFL bus providing both hi-

resolution metering and headphone monitoring.

Designed for both ease of use and convenience in the live recording 

environment, the BBR64-MADI also includes a number of BlackBox 

Recorder "standard" safety features, such as the Safe 'n' Sound Record 

Recovery that will recover files even if the power fails during 

recording.
