Our Crystal Sync Generator allows almost any high quality stereo* or multi-track analog cassette recorder to be used to record location lip-sync sound. Since it offers the user a selection of either 50hz. or 60hz. it is suitable for use anywhere in the world! The main advantage to using an external sync generator is the ability to switch between various recorders.
The chosen sync frequency is available at both a line level
and microphone
level output via the locking DIN socket. The line output can drive a sync
head directly. The unit is encased in a cast aluminum housing measuring 2.25
x 4.25 x 1" and uses a single 9v. alkaline battery. We supply a velcro strip
to attach the Generator to the side of your recorder. We will also supply
the proper sync cable for any recorder you specify, including Nagra III or
IV, Tandberg 11P, Uher 1000 or 1200, Sony and Marantz cassette recorders,
etc.
Price: $240
*In order to use the Crystal Sync Generator the stereo recorder must have a separate gain control for both the left and right channel. We suggest recorders such as the Sony TC-D5M, TC-D5ProII or the Marantz PMD-430.
