The new Fostex X-12 represents the most cost effective route into personal multitracking. And offers musicians a handy ‘musical sketchpad’ for instantly grabbing inspiration. Utilising standard audio cassettes, the X-12 allows the intuitive independent recording of four audio tracks.

EASY OPERATION
Once recorded, your tracks can be mixed using the four level faders, placed on the stereo stage using the independent pan controls, and monitored on headphones or via the RCA pin line output. Separate L/R line outs means the X-12 can be connected to a Hi-Fi, powered speakers or standard 2-track cassette deck for final stereo mastering of your composition. Great care and attention has been paid to the design and usability of this compact unit to ensure easy and simple operation straight out of the box. Just plug in the power cord, pop in a C90, connect your instrument or mic, select a track, press record and start making music.

HISS-FREE RECORDINGS
And, being Fostex, you have the tools to ensure great sounding music too. Hiss-free recording is all about getting the most out of the available headroom on the tape. In short, you need to maximise the input gain of your instrument or mic without overloading. Too little gain and you get an excess of hiss, too higher gain and the signal will distort. To achieve the best balance, the X-12 features a low-noise mic/ instrument input with the addition of a rotary gain control and an illuminated level meter. By adjusting the gain whilst watching the meter you can achieve the best signal to noise ratio. Aiding quality still further is the new tape transport which has been re-engineered from previous models and includes a larger flywheel which enhances reliability, ensuring consistent recording quality.

Highly portable and robust the new, low-cost Fostex X-12 Multitracker is a blast to use, has the tools you need and looks pretty cool too.
