The new TASCAM CD-RW901 Professional CD recorder  
gives studios the professional connections and features 
they need, like AES-EBU digital I/O, RS-232 serial control and 
a timed track increment for adding CD track ID markers 
during recording. Starting with the features of the CD-
RW900, the CD-RW901 adds XLR balanced analog I/O, a 
wired remote control, and other features professionals 
demand. 
The balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA ins and outs 
feature dedicated input level controls for instant changes. 
Digital inputs are provided in both AES/EBU and S/PDIF 
format, with automatic sample rate conversion for compat-
ability with nearly any signal. The CD-RW901 even plays 
back MP3 fi  les with ID3 titles. 
A new Time Track Increment feature automatically 
adds a CD track ID every few minutes (selectable from 1 to 
10 minutes), ideal for house of worship and event recording. 
Pitch control is also a standard feature, with up to 16% 
control over playback. A new function called Key Original 
changes the playback speed without affecting the pitch. 
The  PS/2 keyboard input offers not only the ability to name 
tracks using CD Text, but gives the user one-key access to 
frequently-accessed menu functions. 
Using TASCAM CD recorders is simple, which is why 
they’re the fi  rst choice for houses of worship, schools, and 
other contractor and consumer applications.
