Combination SD and CD Recorder Built Into Portable Sound System

Montebello, CA (January 15, 2009): The newly-announced BB-1000 Portable CD/SD Recorder is built to make recording to CD as simple as pressing record on a cassette 'boom box.' The battery-powered recorder records to either SD Card media or blank CDs from four built-in microphones or XLR mic inputs. The two front and two back mics can be individually trimmed for a balanced recording, and tracks can be immediately played back through a built-in 10W sound system. The BB-1000CD has been designed for simple operation in schools, houses of worship and band rehearsal spaces.

"TASCAM's leadership in the CD recording field has been adapted into a product that makes CD recording available to anyone," explains Dana West, Regional Sales Manager for TASCAM. "The BB-1000CD is a perfect fit for educators, musicians, and anyone else who wants an all-in-one solution for SD Card and CD recording."

The BB-1000CD offers uncompressed recording to CD-R/RW media for audio CDs. The SD Card can capture as WAV file or MP3 files, and SD Card recordings can be burned to CD. The recorder can use two microphones on the front of the unit, two mics on the rear, or a pair of XLR mic inputs with phantom power as the recording source. Tracks can be played through the built-in speaker system, and can be looped and slowed down without changing the pitch.
