Our masterlink upgrades.

Masterlink

Update your Alesis ML9600 Masterlink to a 40GB hard drive.

Get 51 Hours of recording time.

Why update?
Most users treat their Masterlink as a storage device, because recording, basic editing, burning a reference CD and archiving are a breeze. More than a 24-bit/96kHz recorder and CD burner, Masterlink also offers on-board DSP processing.

Recent production units are shipped with 10gig and 20gig drives, the latter is the maximum drive size that Alesis currently supports. Both are a definite improvement over the early units that shipped with 3gig and 4gig drives — large enough to "play" with Masterlink," but not to use for large hi-res recording projects.

But, now you can upgrade your ML9600 Masterlink to a 40GB hard drive and get the most out of your Masterlink!
