PRODUCT OVERVIEW

TASCAM's CC-222 is the world's only cassette and CD recorder combination deck. The ability to record to both decks simultaneously makes this ideal for creating masters on the two most popular consumer formats at the same time. The decks can also be used to transfer content between formats.

Audio I/O is provided on unbalanced RCA connections. Optical and coaxial SPDIF digital I/O is provided for the CD mechanism. For convenience, a phono preamp is offered, allowing for easy transfer of LPs to cassette or CD formats. The RC-222 wireless remote is included.

APPLICATIONS

House of Worship - Live Recording

Many religious institutions are making cassette and CD recordings of services that can be distributed to members of their congregation who could not attend services. The CC-222's ability to record to cassette and CD simultaneously has proven invaluable, allowing them to make recordings of services on both popular consumer media formats without external signal splitters to feed multiple decks or the need to waste hours making transfers after the services.

Lecture Halls - Board Rooms - Live Sound /PA - Education

Often times, the person running sound has never had any training. The CC-222's straight-forward design allows even a novice to operate the deck with ease.

In most shows and assemblies at a school or church, multiple sound cues are needed from multiple people. The CC-222 can be used to put the sound cues all on a single CD, preventing endless fumbling in the dark with stacks of poorly labeled cassettes and CDs in show time. This is a simple way to avoid common mistakes, making the show run smoother.
