The new TASCAM CD-RW901 Professional CD recorder gives studios the professional connections and features they need, like AES-EBU digital I/O, RS-232 serial control and a timed track increment for adding CD track ID markers during recording. Starting with the features of the CD-RW900, the CD-RW901 adds XLR balanced analog I/O, a wired remote control, and other features professionals demand.

The balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA ins and outs feature dedicated input level controls for instant changes. Digital inputs are provided in both AES/EBU and S/PDIF format, with automatic sample rate conversion for compatibility with nearly any signal. The CD-RW901 even plays back MP3 fi les with ID3 titles.

A new Time Track Increment feature automatically adds a CD track ID every few minutes (selectable from 1 to 10 minutes), ideal for house of worship and event recording. Pitch control is also a standard feature, with up to 16% control over playback. A new function called Key Original changes the playback speed without affecting the pitch. The PS/2 keyboard input offers not only the ability to name tracks using CD Text, but gives the user one-key access to frequently-accessed menu functions.
