These decks are well suitedfor almost any recording or playback application.Both decks offer optical leader sensing, allowing the deckto minimize the play or record time lost in reversing tapedirection. The decks can operate independently with theirown audio I/O, or they can work together for dualrecording of a single master. Built-in cascade out andtransport logic also allows multiple machines to be used induplication rigs or logging set-ups.The 322 adds an RS-232 control port for use withadvanced control systems, as well as an optional slot forthe LA-322 Balancing Kit.Meeting Facilities (Boardrooms, Lecture Halls, etc)The 302mkII and 322 are commonly used in installed sound for meetingspaces because of their flexibility for playback and recordingsimultaneously. The 322 can record a meeting while playing back adifferent tape. These are ideal for logging applications as well, sincemultiple machines can be linked together for longer recording capacity.House of Worship, Live Theater, Multipurpose RoomsMany houses of worship are making recordings of their services formembers who could not attend. The 302mkII and 322 are ideal decks forthis, taking advantage of optical leader sensing to minimize the time lostwhile reversing tape direction. Since the two wells of the 302mkII canwork independently, one well could be used for cueing a tape while theother well is playing. The 322's ability to add the LA-322 Balancing Kitallows direct connection to balanced devices.Control System IntegrationIn applications where control systems are being integrated, the RS-232port on the 322 is perfect. Many designers and installers are using thestatus information from the RS-232 port to build intelligent automateddubbing systems and logging rigs, or to simply report the cassette status toa touch panel at a lectern. For more basic systems, the wired port on therear of the 302mkII or 322 offers control from IR/Serial outputs.Music Educators - Dance Instructors - Health ClubsBand, Choir, Theater and Dance programs often need to be able to makecopies of rehearsal tapes for their performers to practice with. Manycompetitions for dance and music still require masters to be submitted oncassette. The 302mkII and 322 offer high quality masters and tape speedcontrol (up to ± 10%). Since the speed control is separate per deck, thespeed change can be committed to a separate tape.
