The 202mkV from TASCAM is a professional dual cassette player and recorder with a wealth of features in a simple 3RU rack space unit. Using standard line-level stereo RCA connectors for input and output signals, the unit also has a front-panel 1/4" mic input jack with its own level control. Standard functions, such as play, pause, stop, forward, and rewind are all controlled by buttons on the front panel.
Advanced features of the 202mkV include auto reverse on each deck, ±12% pitch control on deck 1, Dolby B noise reduction, and automatic play and record at power-up. Continuous recording is offered, so when the tape in well 1 runs out, tape 2 kicks in without missing a beat. Each deck has a record function, allowing you to create 2 masters simultaneously. Dubbing can be done at normal and high speeds. The unit also offers A-B repeat and Return to zero functions.
