Tascam 85-16B

Everything is in the title, it's an old tape recorder studio
It really pesse weight, about a hundred pounds .....

If you are looking for some practical things fast and compact quickly find other
thing ... (digital) and drop

Due to its weight is obviously not plastic ... the design is old and therefore
heavy, especially that this is enough time for the pro equipment (audio tape of an inch)

Strip an inch, it gives games entered a grain and a dynamic
really different from digital, when I compare the same pianos taken
recorded on the Tascam or Protools,

I found him at desuite musicality and made more interesting .....

But it is more sound matter of sensation, and also taste, which should not necessarily be explained ... but mostly listen ...

16 Dolbi are quite effective, maybe not too much taste and also detachable, but what brings more acute and also inevitably breath.

the controls are very basic and ergonomic, I strongly advice against by use of the remote control, which will save you going back and sometimes incessant nervous between the console and the tape recorder.

the location counter is also pretty cool
operation 16 METERS lit needles sultimané is quite surreal ...

Obviously its place and its use must be justified and necessarily connected to an analog console some qualitée

The connection is simple 16 in / 16 out

also 16 pre amp can be calibrated with a special TASCAM bands by individual settings made at tounevis on the front

the downside of the story, as any band magneto (rotating machine), or there is the contact, there is necessarily to wear in mechanical parts and rollers can also deteriorated this situation has the force velocity Tape,

But as it is old and professional equipment and therefore not disposable, it does not also be repaired ...

Evidament, this type of equipment is not common, and rather quickly baffled many people
personally I used to certain things and keep preciously
