PORTASTUDIO 30th Anniversary
Tascam CD-RW900SL

The CD-RW900SL is a rugged CD Recorder for high-quality audio recording on CD-R and CD-RW media. Analogue material can be recorded via RCA connectors with two independant input level controls for the left and right channels on the front panel. For digital signals, there are optical as well as coaxial SPDIF inputs and a digital volume control accessable over the menu.

Continuous audio streams can be devided into single tracks either level-controlled or manually. It is also possible to fade in or fade out songs during recording and to enter information like track titles or artist names (CD Text) over an externally connected computer keyboard.

The CD-RW900SL is also great on playback of audio and MP3 CDs. You can change pitch and/or key of your audio material, play all or single tracks, play tracks in random or programmed order or repeat a whole CD or A–B sections only.

With a broad feature set, high-quality components and rugged construction, the CD-RW900SL is ideal for home recording, studio, theatre, concert sound or permanent installation.
