Tascam 202MKVII – Rackmount Dual Cassette Deck with USB Port
Product Overview
The TASCAM 202MKVII is a 1U rack-mount dual cassette deck with a USB port for digital archiving, designed for professional studios, houses of worship, broadcast facilities, and audio enthusiasts who need reliable cassette playback, recording, and tape-to-digital conversion in a rack-mountable format. Each of the two decks supports independent recording or playback; used together, they enable tape-to-tape dubbing, real-time voice-over recording via front-panel mic input, and pitch-controlled playback. A front-panel USB port transfers cassette audio to a connected computer for digital archiving.
Product Description
The 202MKVII builds on decades of TASCAM dual cassette deck design with the addition of USB audio output for easy digitization of tape archives. Tape 1 includes pitch control for speed-based tempo and key adjustment during playback; Tape 2 adds an RTZ (Return to Zero) function for precise tape counter management in multi-take recording sessions. A front-panel microphone input mixes with Cassette 1 playback and records the combined signal to Cassette 2 in real time, supporting karaoke and live annotation recording. High-speed dubbing copies audio from Tape 1 to Tape 2 at accelerated speed for quick duplication. Auto-reverse on playback and recording extends unattended operation. The 202MKVII is available at Creation Networks alongside the CD-A580 for installations requiring cassette and CD in a single unit.
