Tascam Debuts CD-A700 CD Player And Auto-Reverse
Cassette Deck
July 23, 1999TASCAM is proud to introduce the CD-A700 CD
player and auto-reverse cassette deck at the Summer NAMM Convention, held from
July 23 to 25 at the Nashville Convention Center, Booth 403. The CD-A700 appeals
to musicians, DJs, home recording enthusiasts, and sound contractors in need
of high-quality gear fitting their budget and space-conscious installations,
such as dance and exercise studios. The CD-A700 is scheduled to begin shipping
this September.
"With a suggested retail price of just $649, TASCAM's CD-A700 makes for
the perfect addition to any application where a professional-quality, rugged
CD player and reversible cassette deck is needed," says Gene Joly, TASCAM
division manager. "With an enormous amount of features, the CD-A700 has
everything a user would require in nearly any environment, professional or personal."
The CD-A700's flexible output architecture includes balanced XLR and unbalanced
RCA analog I/O and coaxial (SPDIF) digital output. The unit features a 12 percent
pitch control (both CD and cassette) and D-sub 15-pin parallel control I/O.
The CD-A700's CD and cassette operations work individually of one another except
when operating the CD to cassette dubbing feature. The CD-A700 makes CD to
cassette dubbing a breeze. With the CD Sync feature, duplicating program material
from CD to cassette is as easy as a single button command, ensuring that no
portion of the audio program will be missed. CD Sync is a valuable feature in
environments such as restaurants or hotels where the equipment operator is not
likely to be an audio professional.
Other CD features include CD/cassette continuous play, individual counter (for
both CD and cassette), Shuffle Play, Repeat Play, Intro Check, Program Play,
Single Play, Fader Start/Stop, Event Start, Stop, Track Skip, and Play Tally,
to name just a few.
Cassette features include CPS, RTZ, Play Forward, Play Reverse, Stop, Fast
Forward, Rewind, Ready, and Play Tally.
"TASCAM's CD-A700 combines the digital purity of CD playback with the
analog warmth of Dolby B NR on the cassette deck," says Joly. "Delivering
great sound and tremendous flexibility, this incredible offering redefines great
value." For more information, visit the Tascam web site at www.tascam.com. |
