Reviews[edit]

  • The DA-45 HR from TASCAM represents the pinnacle and arguably the end point of DAT recorder development!
  • The DA-45 HR offers an optional 24-bit recording mode (HR = High Resolution), but can of course also record and play back at 16-bit.
  • It is a professional machine in 19-inch format and very comprehensive equipment.

A disadvantage, especially of the first devices, is the audible fan noise. TASCAM has then improved and offers a conversion kit for the first devices.
