Tascam CD-RW901 professional CD recorder

The Tascam CD-RW901 Professional CD recorder gives studios and contractors the professional connections and features they need, like AES-EBU digital I/O, RS-232 serial control and a timed track increment for adding CD track ID markers during recording.

The Tascam CD-RW901 features XLR balanced analog I/O, a wired remote control, and other features professionals demand. The balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA ins and outs have dedicated input level controls on the rear panel. Digital inputs are provided in both AES/EBU and SPDIF format, with automatic sample rate conversion for compatibility with nearly any signal. The CD-RW901 even plays back MP3 files with ID3 titles.

A new Time Track Increment feature automatically adds a CD track ID every few minutes (selectable from 1 to 10 minutes), ideal for event recording and sound sampling. The Key Original function changes the playback speed without affecting the pitch. The PS/2 keyboard input offers not only the ability to name tracks using CD Text, but gives the user one-key access to frequently-accessed menu and transport functions.

Using Tascam CD recorders is simple, which is why they're the first choice for any contractor and high-level consumer application.
