Anyone interested in CD or DVD Duplication and saving some money will be pleased to hear about the Disc Makers Forte, which was introduced at NAB. According to Disc Makers, its the only automated duplicator on Earth that's going to dent your wallet less than $500.

Tony Van Veen, President of Disc Makers, expounds on the idea behind the Forte:

“There is no other machine like the Forte. We designed it or customers looking for professional levels of quality and speed, but who have modest volume needs. The Forte delivers all that and more for under $500.”

The Forte has a 20x DVD-R / 40x CD-R drive with 25 disc input / output capacity. Its 160 GB hard drive stores up to 31 full sized DVD images, so if you're making a multi-disc series on each of Baskin-Robbins original flavors, you're more than set. It's also super fast, pumping out seven DVDs or 14 CDs an hour.

Inside the compact design, the Forte packs a rugged, built-in fan to keep everything cool. Furthermore, advanced controls allow you to duplicate in single and multi master modes.
