Details

The new TASCAM DV-RA1000 recorder is a professional solution for recording high-resolution audio – up to 192kHz/24-bit – to inexpensive DVD media. The new recorder even features Sony's DSD format, the basis for audiophile Super Audio CDs, as an available recording format. Its professional I/O includes balanced XLR connections, AES/EBU and SDIF-3, and it records standard CD-DA, WAVE and DSDIFF files to CD and DVD discs. The DV-RA1000 can also operate as a professional CD recorder, recording standard audio CDs for studio or meeting room installations.

The DV-RA1000 features digital recording formats from CD audio resolution all the way up to 192kHz/24-bit and DSD recording – the formats used by DVD Audio and Super Audio CD. This rackmount stereo recorder features a user-friendly design on the front panel and professional connections on the back. Advanced features like a USB 2.0 connector, RS-232 serial control and multiband compression and EQ establish the DV-RA1000 as the new standard for studio mixdown recorders.

Reviews

"The DV-RA1000 is on the cutting edge of fidelity, complete with a big-grin list of features and functions. It establishes a completely new, and very high, benchmark for any fidelity-to-dollar equation. It makes the ears and wallet happy! A bonus is the svelte 2U size and the usual top-notch TASCAM design and quality."
