Tascam Sound. Thinking.

*"Sound" has the meaning "firm and solid". It implies the effort and thinking "steadily" "with the feet on the ground".

Comment from Mr. Yuji Hanabusa, TEAC CORPORATION President & CEO

“Since its birth in 1971, Tascam has supported the people involved in the recording and playback industry around the world, and has contributed greatly to the culture related to sound. I believe the pride of being professionals in recording and playback is Tascam’s main resource of growth, and also a great responsibility to maintain.

This revolutionary Portastudio recording system was the first in the world to use standard cassette tapes in a combined four-track recorder and mixer. Compared to other recording equipment of the time, the system was significantly less expensive. By providing many musicians with the opportunity to produce their music, this Portastudio made a great contribution to the history of popular music worldwide. One famous example is Bruce Springsteen’s noteworthy 1982 album Nebraska, which he recorded at home on a 144.

Using common Hi-8 video cassette tapes as recording media, the DA-88 reduced running costs significantly. Moreover, up to 16 could be synchronized, enabling the creation of large recording systems. With a function that allowed synchronization with the video decks used for broadcast and film production, it became an international standard among broadcast and movie companies. Highly evaluated for its technologies, the DA-88 received an Emmy award, which is one of the highest US broadcast honors, for its contribution to the broadcasting industry in 1995.

Tascam HS-4000 – 4-Channel Audio Recorder from 2011

Fusing the expertise and data that we had accumulated through abundant sales and support of professional audio equipment, we developed the HS-4000 as a new recorder/player with specifications for professional broadcast in the tapeless era. This model continues to fill an active role as a transmitter of broadcast audio by broadcasters around the world.
