Tascam has introduced the MD-CD1, a rackmount unit that combines CD playback and MiniDisc recording. The unit features 12% pitch control, MP3 CD playback, RS-232 control and an optional balanced I/O board.
The Tascam MD-CD1 has a host of professional features like RS-232 control, digital I/O and an optional I/O board for balanced interfacing. CDs can be played back at up to 12% higher or lower, and can even be played back faster without changing the pitch for a “chipmunk” effect. Discs can be duplicated from CD to MiniDisc at up to 4x speed, and a wireless IR remote is included.
