The MD-CD1MKIII combines CD playback and MiniDisc recording in a single rackmount unit which saves rack space and installation budgets. Each component has its own analogue and digital outputs so that both sources can be used independently, and there is also a combined output for continuous playback over both decks.
The MD-CD1MKIII has a host of professional features, such as pitch control for CD playback, data CD playback (WAV/MP3 with ID3 tag display), a computer keyboard connector for title editing and transport control, RS-232 control and an optional analogue balanced I/O board that allow it to be specified into a wide variety of applications. CDs can be played back at up to 16 % faster or 50 % slower, and can even be played back faster without changing the pitch. Discs can be duplicated from CD to MiniDisc at up to 4x speed, and a wireless IR remote is included.
Like all of Tascam’s products designed for fixed installation, the MD-CD1MKIII is a reliable player designed for years of trouble-free use.
