Tascam SS-R1/SS-CDR1 Solid State/CD-RW Audio Recorders Product information

Solid State/CD-RW Audio Recorders

SS-R1 and SS-CDR1 are single-rackspace solid state recorders for the installation market. Designed for applications that currently use a cassette or MiniDisc recorder, the SS-R1 records to CompactFlash cards in WAVE format – or in MP3 format to achieve extended recording times. The SS-CDR1 adds a slot-loading CD recorder for direct audio CD creation, direct MP3 recording to CD as well as additional audio transfer functions.

Each model is equipped with balanced and unbalanced audio inputs and outputs, SPDIF coaxial digital in and out with sample rate converter,

RS-232 serial and parallel control, a wired remote control and a computer keyboard input for folder/file naming and remote control. And, of course, users don’t need to do without traditional features like pitch control and key control, auto cue and auto ready, instant start, fade in/out on playback, auto track increment (level or time based), power-on play and sync recording.

Solid State technology provides hours of recording to affordable and secure CompactFlash media, and recordings can be transferred quickly to computers for editing, archiving or publishing on the internet. With fewer moving parts to break down, these products are designed for years of trouble-free use.
