Product Description
A professional-grade workhorse of the analog multitrack era, the Tascam 48-OB records eight tracks on 1/2" tape at 15 ips, delivering the warmth and depth that only tape can provide. Built on a heavy-duty one-piece chassis with a microprocessor-controlled transport, two direct-drive reel motors, and a phase-locked loop capstan, this machine was engineered for long hours of continuous use.
Features include individual source/sync monitoring switches per channel, real-time tape counter with return-to-zero and search-to-cue, varispeed control, SMPTE time code compatibility, and both XLR balanced and RCA connections. The audio chain offers over 28 dB of headroom with ultra-low noise FET circuitry, and each of the eight VU meters includes a peak LED for transient monitoring. A front-panel splicing block makes editing straightforward.
