Tascam BB1000CD is a multi-format portable digital recorder. Featuring both SD and CD backup, Tascam BB1000CD enables high quality recording to either CD-R/RW discs or to SD (SDHC) cards. The BB-1000 CD also has the ability to transfer from one medium to the other and to record four microphones, for 360-degree recording. This makes BB-1000 CD ideal for capturing the ambience of live gigs and for recording minutes.
With BB1000CD you can record from the four built-in mics, XLR connectors or line input directly to a standard audio CD or an SD memory card. This makes live recordings as easy as overdubs, where vocals or a solo instrument are mixed with an existing recording. Unwanted material can be removed from files with the divide function. The BB-1000CD is even able to rip or extract tracks from an audio CD to SD card - in uncompressed WAV format, or in MP3 format in one of three quality levels. The files can then be transferred to a computer by a card reader or burned on an audio CD directly with the unit.
Monitoring is possible via headphones output or the built-in loudspeakers driven by a 10 watts digital amplifier. During playback, you can choose from many useful features: Set locate markers to ease navigation within a track, use loops to repeat a marked section, change the playback tempo and/or key and make use of a metronome and a chromatic tuner. A Part Cancel feature makes practising with commercial CDs easier by reducing the level of vocals or solo instruments.
Tascam BB-1000CD can be operated by the included AC adapter or eight AA batteries. An infrared remote control is supplied as standard.
