Courier - NOT LISTED

Already in use around the world by major broadcasters, freelance journalists and sound recordists, Courier is one of the most versatile portable recorders on the market. Widely recognised as a groundbreaking product, Courier has been awarded the Millennium Product accolade by the British Design Council in recognition of the advanced nature of its technological innovation and for the imaginative techniques used in its design and development.

The Courier has been designed with total ease of use in mind with careful thought going into the layout of the controls. For sheer flexibility and adaptability the Courier is hard to beat and it’s easy to see why :

• At only 1.5kg including media and battery it won't weigh you down.
• Records in most broadcast formats, including linear .wav and mpeg layer 2, providing instant compatibility with most studio editing and broadcast systems.
• Uses PCMCIA hard disks or flashcards.
• No need for audio dubbing - plug the PCMCIA card into your PC and play out directly.
• Built-in, sophisticated, easy to use editing functions.
• No need to race back to the studio if you’re in a remote location. To file reports, connect Courier to a modem or directly to your GSM mobile phone.
• Carry out live reports with the optional ISDN version or with the CO-TBU telephone balance unit.
• Anti-shock, robust packaging using strong shatterproof ABS plastic, with protection buffers to prevent damage.
• Uses widely available rechargeable camcorder batteries, or optional AA cells, which can even be changed whilst recording.

Portable Power With Hot-Swap Batteries

An optional cigar lighter adaptor an provides power in the car and will recharge the Courier's batteries whilst on your way to the next crucial assignment. The integral international mains travel adaptor pack will also ensure that you can operate and charge your Courier from anywhere in the world.

Control At Your Fingertips

A software controlled limiter can be switched in together with a high pass filter for use in noisy surroundings and there are "over level" LEDs for an instant visual check on recording levels. All of this enables you to concentrate on your job not your recorder.

Record in Style with no more audio dubbing

Up to 20 personalised Record Styles can be configured into the Courier. Once you've selected your chosen Record Style and finished recording, plug the PCMCIA disk or flashcard straight into your editing or playout system for instant editing or playback. No need for audio dubbing - what could be simpler?

Easier still, once you've finished your report, simply connect Courier to a modem and sit back and relax as it sends your report as data down the phone line.

Courier can even send your report over the digital phone network by directly connecting a GSM mobile phone. All of which saves you valuable time and effort.

Now with USB Connection

The new version of Courier has a USB B connector supporting USB 1.1 which has a theoretical data rate of 12Mbps. In practise, due to a Windows overhead, Courier USB data transfers have been carried out at 4Mbps which enables downloads to the PC of up to 60 times real-time speed (for ISDN based recordings at 64kbps). Supplied with the new Courier is software to enable connection to Windows Explorer in MS-Windows 98™ and MS-Windows 20008™. Once the Courier is connected via USB, the Courier hard-disk (or flashcard) looks like another hard-disk on the connected PC system, from which audio files can be transferred, copied and deleted.

The USB connection allows the flashcard or hard-disk used for recording to be permanently stored in the Courier without the need for removal. Files can be quickly downloaded to a PC by USB, the disk wiped and recording started again in a fraction of the time normally needed.
