MD-301
MINIDISC RECORDER
________________________________________________________
THE NEWEST, MOST AFFORDABLE MEMBER
OF TASCAM’S M

FAMILY OF DIGITAL
RECORDING SYSTEMS
With the MD-301 MiniDisc Recorder/Reproducer, TASCAM brings
the power of random access recording, editing and playback to an
affordable new level. This hot, 2-channel MD recorder gives you 74
minutes (stereo) of pristine digital audio on re-recordable, easy-to-store
MiniDiscs. Its speed of operation combined with versatile programming
capability make the MD-301 a cutting-edge production tool for any
application where random access operation enhances performance. And
all this comes in a sleek, 2U, rack-mountable chassis.
Made For The Fast Lane
Although the MD-301 is as easy to use as a cassette deck, it’s a
powerful and creative audio editing tool that helps you speed through
production. DIVIDE lets you divide a track into two; MOVE lets you move
a track to another location; COMBINE gives you the power to splice two
tracks together into one; and ERASE lets you quickly eliminate unwanted
tracks or programs. These editing features, combined with a variety of
programmable playback options, make the MD-301 a faster, better way
to record and manipulate your audio.
TASCAM thought of everything. You’ll find the features you need for
live, pre-programmed, and hands-off operation. Create fade-ins/outs, cue
and re-cue on the fly, or program for shuffle or repeat play. There’s even
a TIMER RECORD/PLAY mode for unattended start/stop — a must for
commercial installations. Let’s say you have a theme park or convention
center and you want pre-recorded messages to run on the half-hour. In
TIMER mode, the MD-301 does the job like clockwork.
In addition to editing features, the MD-301 has an on-board sample
rate converter that makes digital transfers from other sources — includ-
ing DAT tapes recorded at other sampling rates — automatic. Fact is,
any format that speaks S/PDIF can be converted to MiniDisc’s 44.1kHz
standard sampling rate by the MD-301.
For added control, the MD-301 comes standard with an RC-3
wireless infrared remote controller. The RC-3 gives you access to the
MD-301’s abundant production features from any location in your broad-
“The MD-301 is a great piece of
recording gear and the cost makes
it an incredible value — the speed
alone is worth the price of admis-
sion. Because of the production
hours the station is saving, our
MD-301 will pay for itself within
a matter of months.”
