Tascam CD-RW900SX Audio CD Recorder

Tascam CD-RW900SX Audio CD Recorder Product Details

Description

The CD-RW900SX is a CD recorder and player for professional use; it replaces the CD-RW900MKII. A robust CD-feed drive ensures years of reliable operation in the most demanding installations. It also allows seamless recording when setting title marks, which is not feasible with standard PC drives. A high-performance chip is used to convert from analog to digital and vice versa, providing clean, clear sound in a frequency range between 20 Hz and 20 kHz with a maximum deviation of 0.8 dB. Various recording functions such as automatic title subdivision help users make polished recordings even without constant supervision.

The CD-RW900SX is equipped with unbalanced analog input and output, as well as optical and coaxial digital input and output. The left and right inputs each have a level control on the front panel. In addition, the level of the digital input can be adjusted so that digital sources can also be optimally controlled. Other features include automatic search for the audio start in the title (Auto Cue), automatic pause (Auto Ready), variable pitch/speed (Pitch Control), playback when power is applied, and fade-in and fade-out (Fade function). The unit can also be controlled via an optional computer keyboard.

Whether used in PA/rental applications or fixed installations, the CD-RW900SX is the right choice for reliable CD recording and playback in daily operation.
