Yes Riversedge is correct: only MDR and SDR are discontinued
Yes
Riversedge is correct: only MDR and SDR are discontinued as the d8b has, the HDR remains in production.
As an SDR user I've been disappointed by such a move, my SDR is only 4 months old, so I got really upset when I red the new on Mackie's web site, but I guess they are going to keep supporting it and making replacements parts or service available for some time.
Anyway, they sure must've had their reasons to do it, but that move had me reconsider any possible purchases of Mackie gear, I didn't find it a customer-savvy move to abruptly discontinue a product without saying anything before, I guess I'll head toward Radikal Technologies more than Mackie for a DAW controller...
In the end digital technology moves on really fast, and we all have to deal with obsolescence, but I hope my next digital tool will last more than 4 months before getting discontinued :D :roll:

( Not Available Maybe in May ) show . True, MDR & SDR have been discontinued. The HDR has been flawless and their support has been second to none. They reciently upgraded, so you are not limited to small (32 gig ) hard drives, In view of this latest upgrade, tells me that there is still activity in the HDR arena.

I believe it is true. The reason why is due to lack of sales, shrinking market share as well as slim profit margins from current sales that result in a product that is no longer worth being made. This is true of all mass and semi-mass produced products.
