The TASCAM DA-3000SD combines a top-of-the-line reference-grade master recorder and AD converter for high-sample rate musically correct recording. Utilizing premium components, the DA-3000SD carries on the legacy as the industry standard in professional master recording and top level AD/DA conversion for recording engineers.

Following in its critically acclaimed predecessors footsteps, the DA-3000SD is a must-have master recorder and professional grade monitoring device in a single rack mountable unit. Bouncing a recording in a DAW alone cannot capture the quality afforded by the DA-3000SD as a master recorder. When used as an AD/DA conversion unit in a DAW production environment, noise free superior monitoring is second-to-none as the clarity and depth of audio is enhanced and allowed to shine.

For recording, the DA-3000SD supports audio capture at 192 kHz for PCM as well as 2.8 and 5.6 MHz for DSD, the highest quality recording format commercially available. Based on project needs, users can select which recording method best matches the musicÕs characteristics and save the settings. Multiple units can be synchronised for sample-accurate recording and playback, allowing for the creation of a DSD multitrack recording environment.

The unit is equipped with a diverse selection of input and output terminals for connection to a variety of studio equipment such as audio interfaces, microphone preamplifiers, dynamic processors, and more. Analog I/O ports are provided via XLR and RCA terminals, while PCM digital connectivity is provided through S/PDIF, RCA, coaxial, and AES/EBU connectors. DSD digital connections are handled through the use of BNC SDIF-3 terminals.

A highly portable piece of gear, the DA-3000SD can fit in a 1U backspace and be toted from studio to studio for detailed and reliable monitoring in any environment. Plus, with its WORD clock capability, the unit can double as a high-precision master clock generator, or sync it to an external clocking device for musically correct pure phase coherent audio.
