A Professional CD Recorder/Player with proprietary TEAC Tray-loading Transport
The CD-RW900MKII is a professional-grade CD recorder that replaces the best-selling CD-RW900SL. A new CD transport designed and manufactured by TEAC ensures years of reliable operation in the most demanding installations, allowing gapless recording that conventional PC drives can't. More recording features like Auto Track Creation help the operator create polished recordings without constant supervision, while an AKM AK4528VM is employed for AD/DA conversion for crystal clear sound.
Enhanced features to meet professional-use
The AK4528VM AD/DA chipset manufactured by Asahi Kasei Electronics is employed for finer AD/DA conversion that defines resulting sound quality. Various useful functions have been added to the CD-RW900MKII in order to meet all kinds of professional needs. The CD drive for example, a newly-designed TEAC-manufactured drive is employed for excellent durability and reliability, performing finely-tuned responses – gapless continuous recording while increasing track number, for example – that only in-house design mechanism can do.
Supports professional acoustic applications, including PA
Other features include rich playback function and a high level of audio performance enable the CD-RW900MKII to be used as a professional-grade CD player. The audio circuit is also equipped with high level capabilities, achieving a high-spec frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz ±0.8dB.
