| Content | The BB-800 is built to record virtually anything anywhere with CD-quality and is able to play music or speech with many options. Thus, this unit is the ideal tool for any musician, music teacher, composer, choirmaster or school.
You can record from the four built-in mics, XLR connectors or line input directly to 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. Recordings can be made 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 for further processing or to be burned to CD. (If you need a unit with built-in CD recorder, have a look at the Tascam BB-1000CD.)
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 music easier by reducing the level of vocals or solo instruments.
The unit can be operated by the included AC adapter or eight AA batteries. An infrared remote control is supplied as standard.

The ultimate record-anywhere multitrack.
Capture inspiration whenever and wherever you are.
The new MR-8 Mk II is the easiest to use digital multitrack ever. If you can operate a tape recorder, you'll be recording and multitracking within minutes of opening the box.
By putting all the major controls and functions right there on the top panel instead of buried in a confusing menu system, the MR-8 Mk II, unlike some other recorders, actually aids you in capturing your musical ideas. In addition there's great sounding built-in digital effects, guitar amp and mic simulators, handy mix-down effects, plus the ability to hook up to a PC for data editing, and backing up your songs.
You create. Fostex records.
New for the Mk II is the USB host feature which allows for the easy connection of an 'off-the-shelf' CD-R burner via USB. Making CD masters has never been more simple.
