Reliability & Performance!

At Sweetwater, we've never seen anything that compares with the DA-20mkII for an entry-level DAT recorder. Even with a budget price, the Tascam DA-20 mkII doesn't compromise quality or features. The DA-20 mkII has long list of standard features like selectable recording rates (48kHz, 44.1kHz, and 32kHz), S/PDIF digital I/O, and SCMS-free recording abilities; you will definitely not find a better deal on a DAT recorder. Unmatched durability. Incredible sound. Sleek design. What else could you ask for? A low price? It's got one! If you've been waiting for the right time to move to DAT, now's the time! Features:

• Same D/A converter as the DA-30mkII
• Infrared remote included
• Rack ready
• 3x, 5x, and 1/2 speed Cue mode
• High speed search due to table of contents information
• Repeat and programmable playback
• Ability to sync to Q codes allowing correct start id’s to be recorded
• Timer that can be set for automatic recording or playback
• Up to 60 character alphanumeric recording capability for every start ID
• Copy protection is disengaged by pressing execute button when powering up the machine. Repeating the process will re-initialize SCMS mode

What Does "Special Order" Mean? A special-order product is one that we don't normally keep in stock. We order it from the manufacturer as soon as you order from us. We have great relationships with all the manufacturers we carry, so we can get your special order to you as fast as or faster than anyone else. Remember that special orders are non-returnable and non-cancelable, so make sure the item is right for you. A Sweetwater Sales Engineer can help you decide - call (800) 222-4700 for assistance!
