The MDS-E12 is a professional MiniDisc Recorder housed in a slim 1U 19" rack space. The MDS-E12 replaces the long successful MDS-E11 as the high-end staple, professional MD model, which has found its way into the hands of radio & production professionals, as well as systems integrators. It includes all of the features and functions of the MDS-E10 and adds control interface capability (RS-232C & Parallel), plus rec/play relay control I/O and balanced analog XLR I/O.
