Record directly to CD with this pro-level deck! The CDRW901mkII boasts XLR balanced I/O, optical digital I/O, timed track incrementing and a wired remote.

The TASCAM CD-RW901MKII is a professional CD recorder that replaces the best-selling CD-RW901SL. A TEAC tray-loading transport ensures years of reliable operation in the most demanding installations. The transport also allows gapless recording when writing track markers, something not possible using off-the-shelf PC drives. Various recording features like automatic track creation help the operator create polished recordings without constant supervision. An AKM AK4528VM is used for AD/DA conversion for clean, clear sound quality with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz +/-0.8dB.

With the CD-RW901MKII, balanced analog input/output jacks and external control terminals are included. Additionally, long-run continuous recording (and overlap recording) is possible by connecting multiple CD-RW901MKIIs with an accessory cable. An ISRC/RID code can be displayed to check the recording in a mastering studio.
