DA-3000
High Definition Audio Master Recorder
The DA-3000 is a professional recording device that is a must-have for recording engineers, given that this device alone can meet both the needs of leaving a master sound file at a high quality and the needs of monitoring audio in any studio at a high quality.
By installing it into a DAW production environment, not only will the daily monitoring environment become stable and improved, high-resolution master recording at high sampling becomes possible.
This model has been discontinued.
Stereo recording at high sampling frequencies up to 192kHz PCM and 5.6MHz DSD
In addition to recording at 192kHz PCM, the DA-3000 can handle DSD2.8/5.6MHz recording, allowing users to record their audio by selecting a recording method that matches the characteristics of their music.
The readily available and easily transferable SDHC card and CF card were selected as the memory media in order to achieve high operational efficiency.
Simultaneous operation of multiple units is possible, achieving synchronized operation of both recording and playback at a sample-level precision.
A DSD multi-track recording environment can also be established.
Various input terminals have been installed in light of connection with professional acoustic equipment.
Analogue input and outputs include RCA/XLR, with PCM digital input and output including RCA COAXIAL and XLR AES/EBU. Of course, DSD digital connection is also available, and as such, a BNC SDIF-3 input/out terminal has been installed.
Dual mono circuits eliminate interference between left and right channels
Another feature of the DA-3000 that makes it more than merely a master recorder, is its high-quality audio circuit that can also be used as an AD/DA converter.
In order to assure high-quality audio output, the EI core transformer with separate coils for digital and analog circuits was applied to the power supply unit.
In addition, a dual mono circuit that is equipped with two high quality mono circuits was used for the output audio circuit.
These features reduce noise for both the input and output terminals, maintaining balance throughout the entire audio circuits.
The importance of clocks in digital audio needs no explanation, and as such, careful measures were taken for clock accuracy.
A TCXO that boasts 1-ppm precision was installed, resulting in digital audio processing based on a high-precision clock that matches a standalone clock generator device.
Professional master recorder/ADDA converter that meets today’s needs
Since its foundation in 1953, TEAC Corporation has been selling numerous stereo recorders.
Starting with open reel, TEAC kept handling various media, including cassette, CD, DAT, and MD, with 2001 seeing the release of the DS-D98 that supported DSD recording.
The DA-3000 can be characterized as its spiritual successor, as it is a professional-level stereo master recorder/ADDA converter that is perfect for contemporary recording settings.
