Description of the Tascam DP-02 Digital 8 Track Recorder
The TASCAM DP02 is the new 8-track digital recorder that makes recording fun and easy. Instead of the menus-cursor interface found on most other recorders, the DP-02 utilises a very simple and user-friendly interface, based on over 25 years of cassette Portastudios.
The DP02 can record up to 8 tracks to its built-in 40GB hard drive. With 2-Track simultaneous recording, each channel has a pair of CD-quality XLR mic inputs with phantom power for condenser mics and a direct guitar input. High and low EQ controls for level and frequency are provided for every channel.
It also has an onboard a multieffects processor, stereo reverb, even a dedicated stereo channel for recording your mix. The USB 2.0 output makes transfering you tracks and mixes to your computer a breeze, or you burn it straight on to CD using the built-in CD Drive.
Also available is the
Tascam DP-02CF, which records to Compact Flash media to make it easier than ever to afford a digital Portastudio.
