The Harman-Kardon CDR 30 is a notable entry in the realm of high-fidelity audio recording and playback, showcasing the company’s commitment to delivering superior sound quality and advanced technology. Launched in the late 1990s, this compact disc recorder has carved a niche among audiophiles seeking a reliable device for digital audio reproduction and CD creation.

One of the standout features of the CDR 30 is its dual functionality, allowing users to both record and playback CDs. It comes with a built-in CD-R and CD-RW drive, enabling the recording of high-quality audio on standard recordable CDs. This flexibility provides users with the convenience of generating their own music compilations or preserving precious vinyl collections in digital format. The CDR 30 supports multiple recording speeds, ensuring that users have control over the process, whether they are creating a perfect mix or archiving favorite tracks.

In terms of sound quality, the CDR 30 excels with its 24-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC), which helps to deliver clear and precise audio reproduction.
