CWR-424-52
Microboards Technology LLC
System Overview
The CWR-424-52 is a professional, high-speed CD recordable duplicator engineered for the rackmount
environment. Microboards Technology has applied their expertise in tower CD duplication to develop this
sleek, black rackmount system to meet the demands of the Pro Audio user and information systems
professional alike. The CWR-424-52 automatically detects the format of the master CD and the four
recorders write at a blazing 52x speed to allow for high volume duplication. Features of the CWR-424-52
include a recording simulation mode to ensure your master can be copied safely. A simple, two-button
interface allows the recording speed to be adjusted to slower speeds for use with media not certified for
high-speed duplication. Taiyo Yuden media is suggested for high-speed 52x duplication.

4 (52x) CD recorders for high output
•
One touch start for CD to CD duplication
•

Setting up the CWR-424-52 duplicator
Set up the CWR-424-52 duplicator with the following conditions:
• 19” Rack mount position or
•
On a level and stable surface
•
In a well ventilated location
•
Temperature and humidity:
o Temperature: 5-40° C
o Humidity: 20-80%RH (no dew formation)
Do not locate the CWR-424-52 duplicator:
Under direct sunlight (If the machine is exposed to sunlight, the light should be blocked by
a curtain or blind.)
In a place where there is a lot of vibration
Near open flame
In a place where the temperature and humidity change drastically
Near a heating device such as a heater or furnace
In a location where air from an air conditioner blows directly onto the unit
Near a container filled with water such as a vase
In a dusty location
o
Dust and dirt can decrease the productivity of the duplicator dramatically. It is very
important to keep the system in a clean and dust free environment.
In winter during times of low humidity or in a location where static electricity is
generated, use an anti-static-electricity mat or humidifier to prevent static electricity
.
