Tascam High Definition Digital Recorder

The TASCAM DV-RA1000HD is your best bet for high-resolution mixdown, mastering and event recording! It supports recording to CD, DVD or hard disk media at up to 192kHz/24-bit PCM resolution. Like its predecessor, the DV-RA1000, it also records Direct Stream Digital audio, Sony's revolutionary format created for Super Audio CDs. These are the only devices to offer Direct Stream Digital recording for under $10,000, making the format attainable for audiophile archival and professional studio mixdown! The DV-RA1000HD includes real-time effects such as multiband compression, DSP, and EQ. It's USB 2.0 jack allows it to be used as a DVD+RW drive when connected to a Mac or Windows computer - just plug and play (or rather, plug and record!) Its rear panel is also jam packed with all the connections professionals demand. You can record direct to CD-R/W and even DVD+RW media for hours of better-than-CD quality storage! However, even the high capacity of DVD+RW media can only handle around five hours of top quality audio -- That's where the DV-RA1000HD's built-in 60GB hard drive comes in! With it, you have more than 60 hours of uncompressed high definition recording and storage at your fingertips! Designed for recording studio mixdown, audiophile archival, live recording and installed sound, you can trust the DV-RA1000HD with your most treasured master recordings. Because it includes above-average converters, the DVRA1000HD also doubles an amazing-sounding audio playback unit. Compared to consumer CD players, the Tascam DVRA1000HD gives you the awesome benefits of improved resolution and superior digital/analog conversion. You will notice improved depth and subtlety from any 16-bit recording! The included EQ program is easy-to-use and gives you great sound with no distortion. Another excellent feature is the output level control at the end of the effects chain, allowing for smooth fades without quantization or zipper noise.
