Reports

• Review by "Tape Museum":
• Outstanding operating data, versatile capabilities and reassuring reliability, designed for professional applications.

• The TASCAM 112 model is a unique 4-track 2-channel cassette machine designed specifically for professional applications. To be qualified for this task, it offers outstanding stability and reliability, so that it can easily handle the rough and tumble of professional use. At the same time, it exhibits an extremely high standard of sound reproduction technology - and maintains it over time thanks to the exceptionally high stability of the circuitry used and the solid construction. There are no unnecessary gimmicks, only what is absolutely necessary for top technical data. The 112 is a robust and reliable workhorse that allows the cassette to hold its own as a sound carrier against the tough competition in the professional field.

• Dolby HX Pro
• The 112 incorporates the Dolby HX Pro system for enhanced high-frequency reproduction due to increased high-frequency MOL The high-frequency content of normal music signals can sometimes overlap with the cassette deck's premagnetization signal, thereby driving the tape into saturation and significantly reducing the high-frequency MOL.
• Dolby HX Pro is an active premagnetization system that helps avoid this problem and adds an additional 6dB of high-frequency overload protection. This is achieved by monitoring the total premagnetisation level coming onto the tape, automatically reducing this level if it exceeds the optimum data. This means the best possible high-frequency response with any type of tape, even if the source signal has a very strong high-frequency content.

Furthermore, Dolby HX Pro only works during recording, but not during playback. This means that tapes recorded with HX Pro can be played back on any other cassette deck without any problems. Dolby HX Pro is always on during recording.
