* Note 1: Approved mechanical drives are recommended for use only in
stationary applications. Excessive vibration or motion may cause data
corruption. The approved mechanical drives listed support Broadcast Wave
polyphonic audio files, but not Broadcast Wave monophonic files. Use approved
Solid State Drives if recording to Broadcast Wave monophonic file format is
required.
** Note 2: Sound Devices has worked directly with Delkin to identify an
intermittent Media I/O issue with newer Delkin CF 500x and CF 700x cards.
Delkin has confirmed that a recent change to these two cards is most likely
responsible for the errors. Cards containing KZ in the serial number are
susceptible to this issue and should not be used. Cards containing VB in the
serial number will function correctly and are approved. Deklin CF 1000x and
1050x cards do not experience this issue and may continue to be used.
