MD-301mkII

TASCAM's MD-301mkII is a cost effective MiniDisc

recorder that really takes advantage of all the

flexibility offered in the MiniDisc format.

Track

naming, rearranging the table of contents, double

length in mono mode, and a full complement of

audio I/O make this a natural for live a sound cue

machine, and the included wireless remote and

PC keyboard port make remote control a breeze.

The MiniDisc format offers a number of advantages over any other format

on the market that makes the format uniquely appealing.

Track names,

rearranging the track order, and flexible rewritability are some of the

big advantages that MiniDisc brings to the table.

The MD-301mkII brings

together the power and flexibility of MiniDisc in an affordable package.

Live Production - House of Worship

MiniDisc has enjoyed a great deal of popularity in the live market.

Since

the name of the track is displayed when you pull up a cue, you can recall

sound effects or music up and see the name of the cue before you play it

for the audience.

This offers more confidence than "track 67".

In theaters

that need to change their audio cues regularly for constantly changing

shows, a standard PC keyboard can plug into the keyboard port on the

front panel of the MD-301mkII to help you make quick work of any size

project.

Plus, the keyboard can act as a wired remote.

Personal Studio - Project Studio

MiniDisc players are gaining popularity among the music community.

The

media is quite accessible now, with hi-fi components, personal players,

and even car players now available in every major retail chain.

The

MiniDisc format was a digital format intended to be a recordable media

from the start, so it is a natural medium for taking reference mixes into

other places for listening away from the studio.

Show Control - Live Presentations

The MD-301mkII provides fast response to transport commands and

infrared control offering a wonderful solution for sound bytes, music cues,

and other material in a show.

Logging Devices - Routine Announcements

If a recorder is needed for logging documented events, the extended 144

minute mono mode can provide a convenient, high quality solution.

In

public venues that require regular announcements such as airports or

theme parks, the MiniDisc can be a prime source for extended play with

high reliability.
