There is something reassuring about a standalone CD recorder like the CD-RW750. After all there is no computer to crash or figure out when you want to burn a quick CD-R copy and also unlike a computer, the unit will go anywhere you need it. The new CD-RW750 retains the acclaimed features of the CD-RW700: 24-bit digital converters, CD-R and CD-RW support, S/PDIF digital I/O and rack-mounted design but also comes at new low price. Furthermore, there is now CD TEXT function, A-B Repeat and Single Playback features.

The CD-RW750 comes with unbalanced analog I/O and S/PDIF digital I/O in optical and coax formats. It has a RAM buffer for more accurate Auto ID mode and Sync Start without clipping the beginning of a track. There are 24-bit A/D and D/A converters and a digital fade in/out from 3 to 30 seconds. Its monitor section allows it to be used as a stand-alone A/D converter or sample rate converter without the need to place a blank disc in the tray. These are all the coolest features.

The CD-RW750 sells for $679 MSRP and for more information, contact TASCAM at 7733 Telegraph Road, Montebello, CA 90640. Telephone: 323-726-0303 or visit: www.tascam.com
