Tascam CD-A500 CD Player & Recorder

Tascam CD-A500 is a professional combination CD player and cassette player/recorder housed in a 3U rack-mount chassis. Although a multi-purpose integrated combination deck, the unit still delivers the features required for an individual cassette deck or CD player.

Functions on the CD player include 20-track programming and a repeat function that allows repeat playback of any single tune, the entire disc, or any desired portion on the disc designated by two (start and end) points. Tascam CD-A500 also includes random playback.

Features like CD to tape synchro dubbing and continuous play features make Tascam CD-A500 ideal for installation and production environments. When combined with a mixer, sounds from a CD and microphone can be mixed and recorded to the cassette deck. This option is perfect for custom-made background music or pre-recorded announcements.
