Six-hour recording. The Advocate 5 can accurately record and document four separate conversations on a single standard cassette. Also, the system has a recording capacity of six hours unattended without having to change a tape. The Advocate 5, designed with a dual deck configuration, allows simultaneous recording and playback from a single unit. This means operators can rewind to a previously recorded conversation while still recording on the other deck.

Operating modes provide flexibility. The Advocate 5 is unique in that it can be operated in three different modes: sequential, dual and copy. The simultaneous mode ensures continuous, uninterrupted recording. As you approach the end of your first tape, the automatic change over function provides a three-minute record overlap with the second cassette. The dual mode records both tapes simultaneously so one deck can act as a scratch pad for instant playback without interrupting the master recording on the other side. For those rare cases when you wish to make a copy of a cassette, the copy mode allows the Advocate to precisely reproduce all four channels and make an exact duplicate of the recording on the other deck.

Security key. Because the security and integrity of recordings is so vital today, the Advocate 5 has a three-position security key, which allows continuous recording, yet prevents access or the capability to stop recording in the secure mode. In the off mode, all functions are disabled and cassettes can not be ejected from the system.

Easy-to-use design. The Advocate 5 allows either desktop or rack mounting (fully compatible with 19" rack mounting) and all operational controls are located on the front panel that makes the system extremely easy for operators to use. The system is fully portable and requires minimal space and set-up time.

Durable. The Advocate product line has proven its durability through years of dependable service. If your organization requires continuous recording of proceedings or meetings, the Advocate V is designed to handle your needs.
