MZ-R35
The MZ-R35 continues the MZ-R30 platform with minimal changes to the underlying system. Optical and analog recording share a single input, with a sampling rate converter supporting digital recording from multiple formats.
Control remains centered around a vertical jog dial used for editing, titling, and navigation. Manual and automatic recording level adjustment are still available, along with standard editing functions such as divide, combine, move, and erase. Updates are limited to firmware revision and minor exterior changes.
