The TASCAM 102 MKII is a rack-mountable stereo cassette deck designed for serious musicians, project studio operators and production houses seeking the highest quality mixdowns direct to tape. Its three-unit chassis integrates a robust two-head centre-mounted tape transport system with advanced bias-sensing electronics that automatically select optimal record settings for Normal, Metal or CrO₂ tapes.
The TASCAM 102 MkII ‘s combination record/playback head and dedicated erase head, coupled with Dolby B and Dolby C noise reduction and Dolby HX PRO technology, extends high-frequency performance by up to 6 dB and minimises distortion for sparkling, high-fidelity sound reproduction. The IC-controlled transport and fully electronic tape-transport buttons reduce mechanical complexity, while Computerised Program Search, Intro Check and CD-synchronous dubbing streamline workflow.
Independent left and right level controls, master record-level control, multi-function display and auto-mute spacer ensure precise control over every mix. With a 60 dB signal-to-noise ratio and wide frequency response up to 19kHz, the TASCAM 102 MKII delivers professional results on any playback system, from car stereo to pro audio rigs.
