Product Description
The Tascam 202mkVII double cassette deck is a perfect blend of retro charm and modern functionality. It's built to last, drawing on TASCAM's long - standing reputation for professional - grade cassette decks. Ideal for professional studios, houses of worship, and audio/music lovers. It bridges the analog - digital divide with USB conversion, enabling easy digital archiving of your favorite tapes. Key features include a dual cassette deck for playing, dubbing, or recording one or two cassettes. There's a USB output for archiving cassettes to an external digital recorder. A microphone input with level control can be mixed with cassette 1 and the total mix recorded to cassette 2, great for karaoke and announcements. It also has a headphone jack output with separate level control, a special playback mode, RCA analog unbalanced outputs, an RTZ function, repeat playback, parallel recording, support for different tape types, a dedicated wireless remote control, noise reduction, and a 3U rack - mount design.
Using the Tascam 202mkVII is easy. First, if you want to play a cassette, just insert it into the deck. For dubbing or recording, set up your source and destination cassettes. To archive a cassette digitally, connect an external digital recorder to the USB output. When using the microphone input, adjust the level control to get the right mix. For audio verification or private monitoring, use the headphone jack and adjust its level separately. The special playback mode is handy for cueing the next song on a tape while another is playing. Make sure to always use the correct tape type: it supports normal and chrome tapes for recording and playback, and only playback for metal tapes. When using the wireless remote control, keep it within range. As for maintenance, keep the deck clean by gently wiping it with a soft cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you're not using it for a long time, store it in a dry place.
