TASCAM is the professional audio division of the Japanese TEAC Corporation. The manufacturer became famous in the late 1970s with the introduction of the music cassette-based Portastudio, which allowed musicians to record multitrack for the first time without investing a fortune in the studio equipment of the time. Home recording was now affordable for every recording musician. The first Portastudio has long since been replaced by digital recorders, which TASCAM offers in several variations. Today, TASCAM produces versatile digital recording equipment for a wide range of applications - from podcasters to professional recording studios.
