The BBR64-Dante is the result of JoeCo's collaboration with Audinate, creators of the award-winning Dante digital media networking solution. The original BBR-Dante system was released in 2011 and was able to record up to 32 channels of audio from a Dante network. The new BBR64-Dante now doubles that track count to 64, while still occupying just one rack unit of space. The recorder connects to any Dante-enabled network device from a range of console and converter manufacturers. In addition to recording 64 channels at standard sample rates, it can also record eight channels of analogue alongside 56 channels of Dante for capturing audience and ambience. Higher sample rate recording (88.2kHz and 96kHz) is also possible at a reduced track count.
Alongside the BBR64-Dante at PLASA Focus will be the BBR64-MADI Recorder, released during 2011. In just a few months, this version has already graced a number of international tours and events including the George Michael Symphonicatour and the recent Grammy Awards show in Los Angeles. A range of standard BlackBox Recorders and BlackBox Players will also be on show.
Joining JoeCo at PLASA Focus is MSL Professional, who just completed a successful first year as UK distributor of the BlackBox product range. JoeCo managing director Joe Bull said, "We are very pleased to be partnering with MSL Professional for our first visit to PLASA Focus. It will be a great opportunity to show a range of BlackBox products to a new audience, as well as being an ideal show for previewing our latest BlackBox development in the UK."
