Tascam CD-RW900MKII CD Recorder
Tascam Product Overview
The CD-RW900MKII is a professional CD recorder that replace the best-selling CD-RW900SL and CD-RW901SL. A new TEAC tray-loading transport ensures years of reliable operation in the most demanding installations. The new 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.Whether used for PA/Sound Reinforcement playback, studio, mastering, or broadcast, the CD-RW900MKII and 901MKII are TASCAM's latest generation of reliable CD recording and playback.

Having used a Traxx and Pioneer the Tascam does things very differently, read the manual and it all makes sense, really clear and easy to follow . The recorder works well, very happy with the advantage of recording to any disc not just audio (not tested yet).

Bought this brilliant piece of kit to replace my old Phillips stand alone cd recorder in which the laser had finally given up the ghost and had stopped recognising blank discs.One of the best things about this is that you can use standard pc blank discs which greatly cuts down the costs of blank media instead of having to buy (expensive and very hard to find) media for my old Phillips recorder. The sound quality from playing cd's is superb. Couldn't recommend this piece of equipment more highly. Really easy to use also.

Having had a Philips recorder for many years I decided to replace it with a Tascam CD-RW900mk11 and I've found it simple to operate when making compilation discs. There are lots of features I haven't experimented with yet, but the manual explains procedures really well and I look forward to becoming more familiar with these as time goes by. Highly recommended.

A beautifully made machine, very well spec'd but note "professional" in the name! It's complicated to learn but worthwhile to persist as it records to an excellent standard.
