Product Description
Sony PC216Ax 16 Channel DAT Recorder
Rent me for $500 a month
The Sony PC216Ax is a 16 Channel, 4mm (DAT) recorder. Bandwidth varies from DC to 20 kHz in 4-channel mode at double speed or DC to 2.5 kHz at normal speed in 16-channel mode. The PC216AX is expandable to 32 channels at 1.25 kHz in normal mode or 2.5 kHz in double-speed mode.
Features
- 16 Channels
- Recording to DAT Tape
- ± 0.5 V peak to ± 20 V peak input ranges
- Bandwidth DC to 10 kHz
- ± 1 V to ± 5 V peak replay levels Channel bandwidth DC - 5kHz at single speed
- DC to 10kHz at double speed
- Tape time up to 3 hours. dependant on tape speed and length
- Power Requirements 240VAC @ 50 watts or 12VDC @ 30 watts
The use of Sony's unique compact mechanics and LSI technology has enabled the manufacture of compact, lightweight PC216Ax {297 mm (W) x 220 mm (D) x 70 mm/100 mm (H) and approx. 3.5 kg/4.5 kg} that can be carried in an attache case or traveling bag to the field. The PC216Ax operates on AC, DC or with an internal rechargeable battery for easy indoor/outdoor measuring. The 2-way power supply (AC/DC or DC/battery) backs up the data in case of power failure in either case.
By doubling both the longitudinal tape speed and the rotational speed of the head drum, double bandwidth record/playback has been achieved: The multiband/channel modes offer a wider variety of combinations of the frequency and a number of channels. Added with the switchable record/playback speed (normal and double) mode, a yet more flexible data gathering is possible.
Being capable of two speed modes. The time taken for data analysis can be halved by reproducing recordings made at the normal speed in the double speed mode. Alternatively, recordings made in the double speed mode can be played back at the normal speed for precision monitoring. Up to 6-hour recording/playback is possible (with a 120m DDS tape at the normal speed). The use of 16-bit linear quantization (using the least significant bit for the LSB digital channel) achieved a broad dynamic range of 80 dB or more (within the bandwidth), which is only possible with PCM, making the setting of the input range an easy task. In addition, an interchannel phase difference of less than 1deg(PC204Ax/208Ax) or less than 2deg(PC216Ax) has been attained by compensating the phase variations occurring in the analog filters with digital filters.
Complying with world's major safety / EMC regulations (UL and EN61010-1; FCC and EN55011-A {EMI}; EN50082-1 {EMS}), the PC216Ax can be relied on for safety and reliability. At power-on or in self-check, the offset and gain of the analog circuits are automatically calibrated. This
