CD-2e SD/CD Recorder

From rehearsals to recitals, services to live-music events, the CD-2e is the fastest way to capture the moment and render it to CD or SD memory card for storage or distribution. It runs on batteries so you can take it anywhere, and will even transpose your favorite CD tracks into any key without affecting tempo.

For serious field recording, the CS-15R cardioid-type stereo microphone is a great match for the CD-2e. For portability and convenience, the CD-2e supplies the power to the mic. Bundled with the microphone are a desktop stand, a hand-held mount, and a windscreen.
