PRODUCT OVERVIEW
TASCAM's CD-A500 brings together the
two most popular consumer media formats
in one very affordable and space conscious
package. The CD player and cassette deck
can act as totally separate units with
individual outputs on the back panel, or
the combination can be capitalized upon
by using direct dubbing, long play (combo)
capabilities, and an input-saving cascade
output mode. RCA audio I/O connections
and a wireless remote are standard.
• Integrated CD Player & Reversible Cassette Deck
• 3-U Rack Mount Design
• ± 12% Pitch Control on Cassette Deck
• Return To Zero Function for Cassette Deck
• Wireless Remote Control Included
APPLICATIONS
The CD-A500 is designed to be affordable, easy to use, and reliable.
Mobile Users - Live Production - Rehearsal Halls
The dual function, compact design will appeal to anyone who needs
to change locations on a regular basis, or who has limited space to
fit their gear into. The CD-A500 is an excellent primary playback
device in basic set-ups. The convenience of a rack mountable CD
player and cassette deck offer the power to play any media you
are likely to receive from bandmates or clients, and still offers you
a sturdy mechanism not found in consumer devices stuck on a rack
tray. Plus, the ability to cascade the CD and cassette can save
inputs on a mixer when you need it most.
Lecture Halls - Board Rooms - School PA
There are many situations where the person who needs to operate
the equipment has little or no official training. The key for these
people is to keep the operation of the unit straight forward, offer
the features they need, and keep the advanced functions out of the
recorder so these lesser understood features don't accidentally trip
the user up. The CD-A500 is ideal for these situations.
DJs - Dance Studios - Health Clubs
Anyone involved in dance or aerobic workouts knows the value of
pitch control. The CD-A500 offers pitch control on the cassette
deck. Pitch control can make the difference between having the
tempo drag a bit and having the right punch. This is also great for
transferring CDs to tape with the pitch adjusted for later
performance where the users aren't fortunate enough to have this.
The CD-A500 is available at:
7733 Telegraph Road
