Over Dubbing and Playback
It's time to add a cassette dubbing deck to your personal or project studio,
but you've got to find one that wears a lot of hats. You need a deck that
can quickly dub multiple copies of your cassette demos, speed the job of making
composite tapes from multiple sources. And naturally, you'll want it to serve
as a continuously looping playback deck, faithfully providing background music
without having to turn tapes over each time a side runs out. The answer? The
202MKIII. In addition to high-fidelity sound reproduction and wide frequency
response, it has an impressive array of features that help you dub, edit,
record, or playback onto/from 1 or 2 cassettes with incredible ease and efficiency.
It's an ideal mix of flexibility and cost-effectiveness for musicians and
studio engineers on a budget. And because of its 3-unit rack-mountable design,
you no longer need an extra adapter to add it neatly to your rack.
Total Flexibility
in Recording/Playback
The 202MKIII allows the user to avoid constantly tending to the deck to flip
over tapes and re-program the controls. Total control over the decks is accomplished
at the touch of a few buttons. The REV MODE, SYNC REV, and PARALLEL RECORD
buttons enable you to program how the 2 decks cooperate. The tape transport
buttons and the tape operation section enable you to access either side of
a tape cassette whenever you wish. This flexibility makes the202MKIII useful
in a variety of recording and playback situations, without the need for constant
tape flipping or recording set up. You can Play material on Deck 1 while Deck
2 Records, on one or both sides. You can record simultaneously on both decks
from an external master. You can Play back both sides of 1 or both decks in
a continuous loop, up to 5 times. An Auto reverse function automatically reverses
tape direction during playback and record. Repeat rewinds tape and allows
infinite looping during playback.
2 Recording Speeds
While recording, use "real time," 1-7/8 in.-per second speed when
you want to monitor the dub, or select 3-3/4 in.-per-second High Speed Dubbing
when you want to save time or make many copies of a proven master.
Excels at Editing
Composite Tapes
The 202MKIII's utilitarian design makes creating a professional-sounding composite
tape from several sources quick and easy. INTRO CHECK, CPS (Computerized Program
Search), BLANK SCAN, and One Program Skip functions make quick work of finding
the beginning of tracks you want to dub without a lot of fast forwarding,
reversing and monitoring. Between selections, push 1 button to get a consistent
4 second pause that marks your tape as the work of a professional.
High-Quality Sound
Reproduction
To ensure your dubs will sound great on any sound system once they've left
your hands, the 202MKIII features Dolby HX Pro. This quality sound technology
extends high frequency performance and minimizes distortion on Normal, Metal,
and CrO2 tape. And while recording, independent L/R stereo LED meters confirm
you‰re recording sufficient level to tape.
