The W-865R/TAS from Tascam is a professional-quality dual cassette recorder that offers a wealth of features at an affordable price. The unit has twin IC logic control mechanisms, and each tape transport features auto-reverse. You have bi-directional double-deck continuous record and playback, so you can record from one tape to another, regardless of which transport the tapes are in.

Parallel recording allows you to record two tapes simultaneously when using an external audio signal. Normal and high speed dubbing are also provided. A mic input with a level control is provided, and you can even perform mic/line mixing recordings on both decks. Dolby B/C noise reduction is built-in, Dolby HX Pro is available on Deck 2.

The easy-to-use interface includes left and right peak level meters, and dual four-digit electronic tape counters. A 1/4" headphone output provides an easy monitoring solution. Other features include variable pitch control, intro check and blank scan functions, an automatic tape type selector, and more, making the W-865R-TAS an exceptional value.

"Don't be fooled. Teac posted the wrong specifications. Their Web site now has the updated specs., but B&H may not have picked up the correction by the time you read this. In particular, it does not have Dolby C. I did not send it back because I realized I rarely or never use Dolby C.

"I need this product to do professional voice work. The mic jack records the signal down the middle of the tape which produces an odd spatial sound. However, it does a good job if you use a mixer so you can get full track coverage of the signal. It's quiet and records well.
