iZ Technology of Canada is the company that invented and manufactured the RADAR units for the Otari Corporation. iZ has announced it has taken over distribution of the product line by introducing the next generation of RADAR units with the RADAR 24. The RADAR is a standalone, 24-track digital audio recorder that uses a hard disk to store audio with sample rates up to 192kHz. Using a software operating system from Be Incorporated, the RADAR 24 is offered in configurations starting at $4,995 MSRP. The RADAR system also comes in a 48-track version called the RADAR 48 and there is the eight-track, M8 Surround Sound Master Recorder. Like the 24, all these systems feature the ability to control, record and edit all tracks simultaneously.

Besides editing with the RADAR's front panel controls, iZ has the Eclipse, a dedicated hardware remote controller and the Paradigm, a touch matrix controller using a TFT flat screen display. Both these optional controllers extend and enhance the RADAR systems with direct locates, macros, project management tools and graphics utilities.
