Tascam CD-RW900MKII Professional Audio CD Recorder
Professional Audio CD Recorder
The Tascam CD-RW900 MKII is a Rack Mount CD Re-Writer. The CD-RW900MKII and CD-RW901MKII are professional CD recorders that replace the best-selling CD-RW900SL and CD-RW901SL. A new TEAC tray-loading transport ensures years of reliable operation in the most demanding installations. The new transport also allows gapless recording when writing track markers, something not possible using off-the-shelf PC drives. Various recording features like automatic track creation help the operator create polished recordings without constant supervision. An AKM AK4528VM is used for AD/DA conversion for clean, clear sound quality with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz +/-0.8dB. Whether used for PA/Sound Reinforcement playback, studio, mastering, or broadcast, the CD-RW900MKII and 901MKII are TASCAM's latest generation of reliable CD recording and playback.

I had never heard of DV247 but when my usual go-to supplier Richer Sounds said there could be a 6 week delay I looked elsewhere on the Net and found the DV247 Music Store website. Not only was the price cheaper but I was able to use PayPal and the delivery was really quick considering it came from Germany. Very impressed indeed. Delivered by UPS who I have always found to be reliable, the recorder box had been 'cushioned' within an outer box and thus arrived in perfect condition. Thank you...I have no problem in recommending DV247 to others !
