TASCAM 302MKII

The TASCAM 302MKII is a double auto reverse

cassette deck primarily designed for continuous

playback of background music or tape dubbing needs.

A maximum of ten 302MKIIs can be hooked up to

form a sequential play loop or to synchronize them,

with one serving as the master/source machine and the

others serving as the slave/target machines, for

simultaneous tape dubbing.
