CD-400UDAB
Media Player with Tuner and Bluetooth Receiver
Play from many sources with only one device
Background Music in Perfection
The CD-400UDAB is a compact-sized, rack-mountable and remote-controllable media player that can play tracks from CDs, USB memory devices, SD cards and Bluetooth devices. It also includes an FM/DAB+ tuner with 20 presets and a front-panel mini-jack input to connect portable music players. The tuner has its own output enabling the user to supply two rooms with different music signals, for example. This all-in-one CD player is suitable for a wide range of applications, from background music in touring, restaurants or small stores to use in public facilities.
Play files from CDs, USB memory devices and SD cards
The CD-400UDAB is ideal for contractors where playback of a wide range of media and file formats is required. You can play audio CDs as well as audio files in WAV, MP3, AAC and WMA format stored on data CDs, USB memory devices or SD/SDHC cards. Playback modes (continuous, single and random) can also be combined with repeat playback to suit a wide range of situations.
Wireless playback from Bluetooth® devices
Audio files can also be played from Bluetooth devices such as smartphones, tablets and portable music players. After a device has been connected for the first time, a wireless connection can be made quickly by simply pressing the pairing button. This enables easy playback of audio files without fussing with cables or file formats.
FM/DAB+ tuner to play your favourite radio stations
The CD-400UDAB includes an FM/DAB+ tuner with 20 FM and DAB+ presets each. An independent tuner output allows simultaneous playback with other media to supply different rooms, for example.
Balanced and unbalanced analogue outputs
The CD-400UDAB offers professional balanced outputs on XLR connectors apart from consumer unbalanced outputs on RCA connectors. By providing much better signal-to-noise ratio, balanced connections are indispensable when routing output signals over longer distances like in fixed installations.
Remote control via RS-232C and Ethernet
This player includes an RS-232C serial connector for remote control by a media controller, for example. An Ethernet card (IF-E100) is available as an option to allow remote control through a network.
Q-SYS Control (integration under development)
Currently under development, this plugin will integrate the CD-400U DAB with the Q-SYS Platform using the optional Tascam IF-E100 Ethernet card. This will allow full playback control to be accessed directly from the Q-SYS user control interface.
Transport functions, source selection and file navigation can be accessed through Q-SYS without touching the hardware, thus streamlining operations in commercial AV environments such as conference centres, hospitality spaces and houses of worship. The official Tascam plugin will be available via the Q-SYS Designer software.
