TASCAM 202MKVII Reviews

Outstanding Product and Excellent Service

By Constantine
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-04-20

The TASCAM 202MKVII is a rock‐solid, professional dual cassette deck that clearly reflects TASCAM’s long experience in audio equipment. Build quality is excellent, setup is straightforward, and everything works exactly as described. Playback and recording are clean and consistent, with very low noise and reliable transport operation. The combination of traditional cassette functionality with modern touches makes it perfect for archival work, digitizing tapes, or anyone who still values high‐quality analog audio. Ordering from B&H Photo Video was smooth, communication was clear, and shipping was fast and secure. The product arrived exactly as advertised, well‐packed, and in perfect condition.

There are very few choices out there for this old tape format. I did a lot of recording in the early 80's with my Tandberg and Sony decks. I got a ton of tapes both in regular and metal formats. The Tandberg and Sony both conked out not long ago, heads have worn out and no parts available for them. I am just using this for playback so 3 heads deck is really not required for me not.
