Excellence Marketing to represent TASCAM

 

          Montebello, CA. – TASCAM Professional Audio has chosen Excellence Marketing of Eden Prairie, MN to represent it’s line of professional audio recording products in the Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and western Wisconsin territory. 

 

            With over 30 years of experience in the recording market, TASCAM is often considered the inventor of the home studio market.  TASCAM is one of four divisions of TEAC Corporation, a $1.2 billion dollar electronics manufacturer headquartered in Japan.  While the other divisions of TEAC have grown in a multitude of high-tech industries (including data storage devices, consumer electronics and industrial products), TASCAM has remained dedicated to making innovative products for capturing musical creativity.

 

            In 1972, TEAC shipped the first mass-produced 4-channel tape recorders giving birth to the TASCAM division.  These products (the A2340S and A3340S) featured Simul-Sync, which first enabled the user to easily record on one track while listening to others, creating the basis for all modern “over-dubbing” technology. 

 

From these auspicious beginnings, TASCAM became the worldwide leader in affordable studio technology, delivering such products as the venerable 80-8  8-Channel MultiTrack Recorder, the PortaStudio MultiTrack Family, DA-88 Modular Digital MultiTrack, M-Series Recording Mixers, and the MX-2424 24-Track Hard Drive Recorder.

 

In the 90’s, TASCAM applied their pro audio recording and playback technology to the Installed Sound market and today are the world leader with a lineup that includes cassette & CD players and recorders as well as tuners, receivers and CD/Cassette combination decks.  Packing many features into affordable price points, the contracting world has embraced these products for the value they provide to the end user.

 

Other recent innovations from TASCAM include the US Series of control surfaces for computer recording, the DM-24 Automated Digital Recording Mixer, the GigaStudio system of hard-disk based sample-playback, the PocketStudio 5 Miniature Hard-Disk MultiTrack Recorder and the SX-1 Digital Production Environment.
