Alera Technologies announced today, the first 1:11 CD Super Copy Tower stand alone CD Duplicator is in stock at leading resellers. This totally new CD duplicator can make up to 11 CD copies at once at up to 52x without a computer. This translates to serious duplication capacity. With the 1:11 CD Super Copy Tower, you can make more than 250 copies of a typical 650MB CD in less than an hour. Also featured is the new Aleratec two button Cruise Control(tm) duplicator controller with advanced new functions. The distinctive "professional black" design fits perfectly in any environment, from the computer room to the Hollywood Studio.
"Faster duplicating speeds and increased capacity are imperative to our Prosumer users and we have developed the Super Copy Tower as the most economical way to duplicate very large volumes of discs in the shortest period of time. There is nothing even close to the 1:11 CD Super Copy Tower at any price and when you consider its low cost, saying it is a value is almost an understatement," stated Perry Solomon, President and CEO. "This is the first successful implementation of a stand alone tower duplicator with this kind of speed and capacity and it is available only from Alera Technologies."
The 1:11 CD Super Copy Tower incorporates a 40GB hard disk drive that can store up to 40 CD images of your frequently used CDs for making up to 11 quick copies of any one of these images simultaneously. This powerful duplicating system also can sense if there is a readable source CD in any of the CD Recorders and can use this as a source disc to make up to 10 simultaneous copies without loading to the hard disk drive.
The 1:11 CD Super Copy Tower (Aleratec Part No. 260134, Ingram Micro SKU No. E30326) can make up to 11 copies simultaneously, of a typical CD in less than 2.5 minutes With the low Estimated Street Price of $1,499, the new CD Super Copy Tower is ideal for Prosumer, Corporate, Government and Education applications.
An easy to use, two button Cruise Control duplicator controller is all new and has a compact two level menu structure with the 5 most used duplicator functions (Copy, Compare, Verify, Erase, Test) readily available in the first level. It has a large and bright back lighted display that shows the number of discs loaded and monitors the copy process. The new Cruise Control has diagnostics and copy controls to satisfy the needs of even the most discerning professional user, including a unique new copy counter that can be set to count the total number of copies produced in a production run.
The Aleratec CD Super Copy Towers are compact single tower configurations that occupy less than half the footprint and are about half the cost of other implementations of tower type duplicators incorporating more than 10 recorders.
