Fostex D-5 Digital Audio Tape Master Recorder DAT w/ Manual

For your kind consideration is this Fostex D-5 DAT recorder from the mid to late 1990s. It's in excellent condition and powers on. This 2-channel single-owner unit was pulled from a working, smoke-free home studio. Great easy to use until for mastering or archival work. Enjoy!

From Zzounds:

The D5 makes a flexible, easy-to-use, and affordable addition to any studio setup. Not only does it stand on its own as a full-featured DAT recorder with 3 sampling frequencies, selectable quantization, high-quality A/D/A conversion, and more, but it makes a perfect complement to a Fostex hard disk recorder, since it can be used as a digital mixdown recorder or as an archiving machine for backing up hard drive data. True to Fostex tradition, the D5 gives you outstanding performance and flexibility at an undeniably reasonable price.
