So you've got yourself a multitrack recorder. Uh. . . now what? Like a black-ops rescue mission commander, you need to get audio in and out of your new recorder quickly, quietly, and with minimal hassle. Getting yourself "mission ready" is as easy as adding the Tascam LaunchPad starter pack.

The home recording experts at Tascam know how to get the most out of any multitrack recorder, whether it's digital or analog, Tascam or another brand, four, eight, sixteen, or twenty-four tracks. The equation is simple. Start with a great recorder, then add:

A) A High-Quality, Versatile Microphone
Like the Tascam Fox microphone. The Fox was designed by hobbyist microphone specialists MXL, and as a dynamic mic, is great for recording a wide variety of sources, including vocals, guitar and bass amps, horns, and even drums. Plus, since it's a dynamic microphone, the Fox doesn't require any external power for operation. You can use it just about anywhere and still make great-sounding recordings! Of course, you'll also need:

B) Accurate, Comfortable Monitor Headphones
And the LaunchPad Starter Pack includes a pair of Tascam HP-VT1 -- studio-grade cans made especially for the home recording enthusiast. A pair of neodymium drivers with a frequency range of 20 Hz - 20 kHz provide accurate recording and playback monitoring with low listening fatigue. The HP-VT1s are also comfortable and stylish, which never hurts. And don't forget:

C) Accessories
It wouldn't be much of a LaunchPad if Tascam didn't also include all necessary cabling, so you get a 13+ foot XLR to 1/4" microphone cable.

Get your recordings off the ground fast with the simple addition of the Tascam LaunchPad pack to any recorder. It pairs great with USB audio interfaces, too! zZounds is an authorized dealer of Tascam products.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
