Record or Play Music with a Tascam Professional CD Recorder

Tascam opened over 40 years ago as the audio division of TEAC, its parent company. It has been producing a line of professional CD recorders and related sound equipment for several decades. If you are searching for a new device that can play CD-R or CD-RW discs with clear sound quality, knowing what products the brand offers may help you find the one you need.

What formats are compatible with these CD players?

Devices from this brand may be able to read or play discs in a variety of formats. If you have audio tracks in a preferred format that you would like to play, you may be able to find a unit that recognizes one or more of the following file types:

  • MP3: MP3 files are compressed audio bits. They are usually able to load and play quickly through web-based media or the disc of your choice. You may find MP3 formats on audio files you record to disc from the internet.
  • WAV: WAV is a format that is usually for uncompressed audio files. These file formats may be able to resemble the audio you hear from a professional music CD. Many players from this brand will recognize the WAV format.
  • CD-R: This is a disc format that is meant for permanent use.
  • CD-RW: A CD recorder can overwrite the data on this disc with new information.
What does frequency response mean?

Frequency response is a CD player's ability to reproduce sounds within a set range. The broader this response is, the more sounds you may be able to hear. This response is usually measured in both hertz and kilohertz units. A player's frequency range may include:

  • 20 Hz: This range denotes the deepest low bass range that you can hear.
  • 20 kHz: This is the highest range you can probably hear naturally. It includes very high or piercing audio.
What are some features of professional CD recorder models?

The precise number of features you get will depend on the specific player or CD recorder you choose. However, some common features you might find during your search include:

  • Playback controls: Playback buttons may include switches to start, stop, rewind, or fast forward through a particular song or list of tracks. A CD recorder may also have buttons to record to a disc or to sync that recording.
  • Digital display: A display window may tell you if a disc is present in the device, the name or number of the track, and how many minutes of audio are on the disc.
  • Digital input: If your CD player has digital input capabilities, you may be able to use it in conjunction with other devices to play digital files.
