The Product

The Tascam CD-A550 is an updated version of the successful CD-A500 combination CD player/cassette recorder which was one of the best selling combo machines of this type. This new model uses TEAC's new CD-5020A drive mechanism, designed for audio playback with a smooth loading drawer and low clamping noise. New features include MP3 and WAV file playback, CD text display, auto cue and auto ready. Also new to this model is the digital output and pitch control for both the CD and cassette mechanisms.

Analogue audio inputs and outputs for the cassette machine section are unbalanced presented on phono connectors, as are the outputs for the CD player section. A digital SPDIF coaxial output for the CD player is also provided. Mains power is supplied to the unit via an integral power cable. Contractor-specific features such as power-on play, a wired remote control, rackmountable design and CD shock memory ensure reliable performance time after time.

The Manufacturer

Tascam is one of four divisions of the TEAC Corporation founded in 1953 and since its inception, it has remained dedicated to making innovative products for capturing creativity in the field of music and audio. After virtually creating the home recording scene during the early 1970s, Tascam went on to achieve recognition for pioneering products in the professional recording arena as well. Their legacy of product development and innovation is reflected in the sheer number of industry firsts achieved, including the first half inch four track cassette recorder. Today Tascam continues to lead the way in the field of electronic music recording technology.
