If cassettes are still your thing then you need the Tascam 202 MK7 Cassette Player in your life! The 202 MK7 is ideal for a wide range of tasks. The pitch and tempo shift allow you to effortlessly adjust tracks to suit the needs of various singing styles and abilities. This makes it a great addition for bars and pubs who regularly host karaoke nights. No one will feel left out! If you fancy revisiting forgotten band demos and the mix tapes of your youth then these can be easily transferred to digital via the USB out. However Dont just assume this is only great for recreational use. The 202 MK7 can be used as a trust-worthy capture and back-up device for documentation for the likes of the police councils and law firms. Need multiple copies but dont have much time? No problem. The cassette player can operate in “dual mode” this allows both tape decks to record simultaneously. Innovative functions Use the “special” playback function to listen to a tape on your headphones whilst another is playing through the line outputs. This enables you to seamlessly cue the next track to play without affecting whats currently playing. What makes the 202 MK7 really impressive is its “return to zero” button. This allows you to easily locate the beginning of songs as well as other moments of importance. No longer do you have to waste hours of your life searching through cassettes! Make tapes sound better than ever before The switchable noise function is ideal for removing distracting hiss that takes you out of the moment when listening to your collection. However its important to note that this function can only be applied during playback and really shines when paired with cassettes that were recorded with DNR(Dolby Noise Reduction). Supports dynamic microphones The 1/4″ jack input on the front of the 202 MK7 allows you to connect a dynamic microphone to the player. This is ideal for Karaoke and public announcements. Whats more this signal can also be recorded to either one or both of the decks. Digital archiving just got easy What makes the 202 MK7 stand out from other cassette decks is its USB output. This innovate tool allows you to connect the cassette player to your preferred operating system and DAW to create and store digital archives.
