Tascam DPO2CF Digital Portastudio using popular and secure CompactFlash card as recording media £219.98
Description
DP-02 and DP-02CF are based on Tascam’s popular DP-01 digital Portastudios™ that have been updated with a fresh new look, new effects, and an improved menu and display.
The DP-02CF uses CompactFlash media for 8-track recording at CD quality and offers a pair of XLR mic inputs with phantom power as well as dedicated controls for volume, pan, high and low EQ per track. A 1-gigabyte card is included with this unit offering enough recording time for the first project (see also the Tested Media List). The DP-02 records to a 40-gigabyte internal hard drive instead of CompactFlash and has a multieffect processor, stereo reverb, chromatic tuner and a slot-type CD burner for CD masters and song backup. Both units feature workstation-style editing and a USB 2.0 port for computer backup or external processing.
The DP-01 series was a huge success for Tascam because musicians could record digitally as easily as they did with their first cassette 4-tracks recorder. The DP-02 series Portastudios stand by this tradition and add the comfort and sound quality achieved by modern digital recording technology.
