The unit is stocked with features, such as 12% pitch control, MP3 CD playback, RS-232 control and an optional balanced I/O board that allow it to be fit into a wide variety of applications.

Complete CD playback features including speed and pitch control and MP3 capability
The MD-CD1mkIII is the latest in a long line of problem-solving products from TASCAM. It's a multi-media component for installations that don't have the rack space for multiple devices. In fact, aside from TASCAM's MD-350 the MD-CD1mkIII is currently the only rackmount MiniDisc player available anywhere.

MD-CD1mkIII CD playback capabilities:
  • MP3 file playback / ID3 tag display
  • +/-16% pitch control
  • Change tempo without affecting the key
  • Dedicated digital & analog outputs
  • Transport control with optional PS/2 Keyboard

Full-featured MiniDisc recorder/player with multi-format support and digital and optical I/O

Full editing features, including a PR/2 computer keyboard connection for full transport control, ensure you'll have everything at your fingertips.

CDs can be played back at up to 12% higher or lower, and can even be played back faster without changing the pitch for a "chipmunk" effect. Discs can be duplicated from CD to MiniDisc at up to 4x speed, and a wireless IR remote is included. The MD-CD1mkIII is an all-around pro performer!

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
