The Alesis MasterLink ML-9600 Master Disk Recorder is an easy-to-use tool to tackle a tough job. CD24 technology allows you to record and play back 24-bit 96kHz CDs using inexpensive CDR media. Its CD recorder is seamlessly linked with a built-in 40GB hard disk recorder and essential tools for digital signal processing editing and mastering. Record direct-to-disk using any of the four standard sample rates (44.1 48 88.2 or 96kHz) and choice of three word lengths (16 20 or 24 bit). Built-in signal processing includes equalization compression normalization and peak limiting. Finally push one button and burn your master onto CD in either Red Book or CD24 format. CD24 format uses the ISO 9660 format and standard audio file formats so its discs can be read by Macintosh Windows and Unix computer platforms. Most mastering facilities now accept MasterLink disks making it an industry-standard mix-down device!
