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.
