TASCAM DV-RA1000 HD
The DV-RA1000HD is an extended version of the DV-RA1000 Master Recorder with an internal hard disk drive and powerful copy functions. It records high-definition audio at up to 192kHz/24bit to DVD+RW or DVD-RW media or hard disk and is able to create standard audio CDs (16-bit/44.1kHz) on CD-R and CD-RW discs. It also features the DSD format, which is the basis for the audiophile Super Audio CD (SACD), as an available recording format. With the DSD method, audio is being directly recorded as a high-resolution, uncompressed digital signal to reproduce the original analogue waveform in excellent quality.
The DV-RA1000HD’s copy functions enable users to duplicate optical media or to copy audio files from CD/DVD±RW to the hard disk and vice versa. For archiving purposes, audio data can also be written to DVD-R and DVD+R media. The UDF 1.5 format for DVDs ensures compatibility with computer drives.
Like the DV-RA1000, the DV-RA1000HD features professional inputs and outputs including AES/EBU, SDIF-3, RS-232C, USB 2.0 and a computer keyboard connector for text input.User-definable function keys, a large, backlit LC display, Pitch Control (±6%), headphones output and a host of other playback and recording functions make the DV-RA1000HD a versatile world-class recorder.
