TASCAM BB1000CD Portable CD and SD Recorder

No longer available at zZounds
This portable recorder is designed to record audio at the press of a button.

The BB1000 Portable CD/SD Recorder is built to make recording to CD as simple as pressing record on a cassette 'boom box.' The battery-powered recorder records to either SD Card media or blank CDs from four built-in microphones or XLR mic inputs. The two front and two back mics can be individually trimmed for a balanced recording, and tracks can be immediately played back through a built-in 10W sound system. The BB1000CD has been designed for simple operation in schools, houses of worship and band rehearsal spaces.

The recorder offers uncompressed recording to CD-R/RW media for audio CDs. The SD Card can capture as WAV file or MP3 files, and SD Card recordings can be burned to CD. The BB1000CD can use two microphones on the front of the unit, two mics on the rear, or a pair of XLR mic inputs with phantom power as the recording source. Tracks can be played through the built-in speaker system, and can be looped and slowed down without changing the pitch.

Note: Powered by AC power adapter (included) or 8 AA batteries.

Will use it for reference recordings until it dies.
Sound
Internal amp is not loud enough to use in a concert band setting where you want to play it back for students to critique. It will need to be hooked up to a sound system in order to overcome ambient noise in a larger rehearsal setting.
Features
Love it all EXCEPT for the lack of direct computer connectivity. mp3 to CD conversion takes much longer than a computer, so be prepared to wait, or just record in .wav to begin with.
Ease of Use
EASY!!
Quality
WELL done here. The screen could be just a touch larger. This product strikes me as very "prototypical", like Edirol's first flash recorder.....utilitarian.....needs some refinement in appearances/increased amplifier output/USB Connection.
Value
For teh money, it can't be beat.
Manufacturer Support
Have not needed it...manual is good.
The Wow Factor
A great piece of gear for the musician/director who needs those quick reference recordings and needs to squeeze out a CD or two of them.
