DV-RA1000HD

TASCAM's award-winning DV-RA1000HD shatters the price barrier to recording mixes and masters to Direct Stream Digital, Sony's 2.822MHz/1-bit "Super Audio" format that must be heard to be believed. The stereo recorder captures audio from 44.1kHz to 192kHz as WAV files. In addition, the breakthrough DSD recording format adds incredible detail with all of the depth and imaging of quality analog recording.

The DV-RA1000HD records directly to a 60GB hard drive or to a CD/DVD optical drive, and DVDs or CDs can be made from hard drive playlists. A USB 2.0 connection allows direct transfer to computer without burning a disc. The rear panel includes balanced and unbalanced analog and digital connectors for just about any format. The rich-sounding analog converters are capable of recording DSD format audio - no additional hardware is required.

Included with the DV-RA1000HD is a wired remote control for dependable punch-in. WAV audio can be processed with built-in 3-band EQ and multiband compression/limiting before burning to disc. Also available free to purchasers in the USA is Minnetonka's Discwelder Bronze 1000, a custom version of their software to convert DSD audio to WAV files and create DVD-Audio discs of your recordings.

Designed for recording studio mixdown, audiophile archival, live recording and installed sound, you can trust the DV-RA1000HD with your most treasured master recordings.

"I was using the stock Pro Tools converters, and I made a comparison to printing [a mix] on your [DV-RA1000HD]. And it sounded significantly better recording DSD."

"When I got the Front of House job with Steely Dan, they told me that they would like recordings of every sound check and show. I knew I wanted to use these great sounding DV-RA1000s. I have used them for the last three years of world touring with Steely Dan. They have taken some very rough rides around the world and performed flawlessly."

"What I love about the DV-RA1000HD is how it pulls me into listening to more music when I turn it on! Sometimes it sounds like I can reach out and touch a musician or vocalist - which really makes the DV-RA an audiophile piece of gear!"

Stevie Wonder, Marcus Miller, Eric Clapton, three Grammy™ awards
