About the Masterlink ML-9600

The Alesis Masterlink ML-9600 is a state-of-the-art two-track hard disk recorder designed for professional mixing and mastering. It records audio in stunning 24-bit, 96kHz resolution to its internal hard drive, which originally had 4.3GB capacity but later models offer up to 40GB, providing several hours of high-resolution recording. The unit features both analog and digital inputs and outputs, allowing seamless integration with mixers, DAWs, and other audio sources. It also includes a 4x CD-R recorder capable of burning finished recordings in industry-standard Red Book format or the innovative CD24 format, which supports 24-bit/96kHz high-resolution audio on standard CD-R media. The Masterlink offers built-in editing tools such as high-resolution parametric EQ, compression, limiting, and normalizing, enabling users to polish their mixes without needing external software. Its high-resolution audio performance and editing capabilities make it a superior alternative to DAT, cassette, and standard CD recorders for professional audio archiving and mastering. The unit comes with detachable rack ears and an infrared remote control (note that refurbished units may not include the remote). It has been favored by top professionals in the industry for its quality and versatility.
