The Tascam CD-RW900mkII CD Recorder is a professional CD recorder/player with proprietary TEAC Tray-loading Transport. A new CD transport designed and manufactured by TEAC ensures years of reliable operation in the most demanding installations, allowing gapless recording that conventional PC drives can't.
The Tascam CD-RW900mkII CD Recorder is a professional-grade CD recorder that replaces the best-selling CD-RW900SL. More recording features like Auto Track Creation help the operator create polished recordings without constant supervision, while an AKM AK4528VM is employed for AD/DA conversion for crystal clear sound.
Enhanced Features to Meet Professional-Use
The AK4528VM AD/DA chipset manufactured by Asahi Kasei Electronics is employed for finer AD/DA conversion that defines resulting sound quality. Various useful functions have been added to the Tascam CD-RW900MKII in order to meet all kinds of professional needs. The CD drive for example, a newly-designed TEAC-manufactured drive is employed for excellent durability and reliability, performing finely-tuned responses – gapless continuous recording while increasing track number, for example – that only in-house design mechanism can do.
Supports Professional Acoustic Applications, Including PA
Other features include rich playback function and a high level of audio performance enable the Tascam CD-RW900MKII to be used as a professional-grade CD player. The audio circuit is also equipped with high level capabilities, achieving a high-spec frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz ±0.8dB.
