TASCAM 234

Everything we've ever learned about multi-track recording was tapped to design our 234 cassette format recorder reproducer.

This rugged little 4-track has virtually all the features you'd expect to find on it's big brothers with reels. We're even added some of the capabilities that made our Portastudio a milestone in it's own right.

You get microprocessor control and three motor Simul-sync design. You get convenience, portability, and the ability to record eight sources in a single take. You get the flexibility to bounce tracks and add live sources at the same time.

All by itself, the 234 is a formidable recording tool. Combined with a mixer for EQ, cue and monitor mixes, solo and effects sends/returns, you've got a full blown 4-track production studio.
