| The new TASCAM DV-RA1000 recorder is a professional solution for recording
high-resolution audio - up to 192kHz/24-bit - to inexpensive DVD media. The new recorder
even features Sony's DSD format, the basis for audiophile Super Audio CDs, as an available
recording format. Its professional I/O includes balanced XLR connections, AES/EBU and
SDIF-3, and it records standard CD-DA, WAVE and DSDIFF files to CD and DVD discs. The
DV-RA1000 can also operate as a professional CD recorder, recording standard audio CDs for
studio or meeting room installations. "Until now, recording high-resolution audio like 192kHz and
DSD has cost over $10,000," reports Jim Bailey, Product Manager for TASCAM. "The
DV-RA1000 drops this cost almost 80%, making stereo audiophile recording attainable for
anyone. It records to standard, affordable DVD+RW discs or to CD media for recording
standard audio CDs. For the price one of our professional CD recorders sold for in the
past, studios and installations can enjoy the best digital sound quality possible with
current technology."
The TASCAM
DV-RA1000 features digital recording formats from CD audio resolution all the way up to
192kHz/24-bit and DSD recording - the formats used by DVD Audio and Super Audio CD. This
rackmount stereo recorder features a user-friendly design on the front panel and
professional connections on the back. Advanced features like a USB 2.0 connector, RS-232
serial control and multiband compression and EQ establish the DV-RA1000 as the new
standard for studio mixdown recorders.
