Reports

• Report from "Tape Museum":
• TASCAM CD-501 - Compact Disc Player:

• The best in CD sound for professional use. - The TASCAM CD-501 Compact Disc Player has outstanding CD playback characteristics in a unit designed specifically for professional applications. The key factors in this area are stability and compatibility. The CD-501 is built to proven standards that guarantee durable, reliable operation even under non-stop use. The unit features electronically balanced XLR line outputs for direct plug compatibility with professional equipment. Of course, there are a number of other important features and functions that make the CD-501 perfect for a wide range of applications, from broadcast and AV production studios to commercial BGM installations.

• The sound quality is without question absolutely first class. The original TEAC ZD circuitry, applied in the D/A wall, has effectively removed one of the last barriers to achieving a truly pure, natural CD sound: the "roughness" of quantization noise. Dual monaural D/A converters and a 3-beam precision laser pickup, guided by a unique linear motor configuration, also contribute to the greatly improved sound quality. The TASCAM CD-501 effectively integrates CD into professional systems.
