Monday, August 4th, 2008

Ashly launches the new Ethernet capable NE-Series with multi-channel amplifiers. Targeted for the performance installation and 25V/70V/100V constant voltage markets, these amplifiers add a new level of power and control from the simplest to most advanced audio system applications. The models include both four and eight channel low impedance, 25V, 70V and 100V amplifiers. All amplifiers come equipped to run with Ashly’s control software which operates using standard Ethernet protocol. Power at four ohms 25V, 70V and 100V is 250W. Input options include Euroblock (standard) and DSP. Cobranet, and AES/EBU modules will be available as future options

Four and eight channel amplifier models are initially offered two ways; standard input with euroblock connectors and “pe” (Protea enabled) with euroblock input connectors and world renowned Protea DSP signal processing. (CobraNet and AES available Q3.)

The DSP library is extensive and utilizes a SHARC 32-bit/96kHz processor.

Additionally, each amplifier also provides DC voltage control of the calibrated Input attenuators, which makes it a snap to control volume from remote locations, and Remote Power Turn-on/-off with sequential power on/off circuitry built right into the amplifier. LED indicators for power, standby, protect, bridge mono, parallel mono, network communications and each channel has a four-step signal meter, temperature and current indicators.

CBC Takes On Tascam Line

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

tascammakeithappen.gif

For more than 30 years, TASCAM has developed products for every segment of the sound and music industry. From the high-end audio professional in a major post-production studio to the novice or hobbyist at home, TASCAM is everywhere. We are a company committed to providing our customers audio/video solutions that enable breakthroughs by using sound in ways that are as exciting as they are accessible. In short, we provide tools that let people translate their creativity into reality.

After virtually creating the home recording scene during the early 1970s, TASCAM went on to achieve recognition for pioneering products in the professional recording arena as well. Our legacy of product development and innovation is reflected in the sheer number of industry firsts we’ve achieved, including:

  • the first 1/2-inch, 4-track cassette recorder
  • the first 8-track, reel-to-reel/mixer combo
  • the first R-DAT recorder
  • the first MiniDisc digital multitracker and CD scratcher

As evidenced by the awards and professional recognition we’ve received, TASCAM products are clearly in a class by themselves. Our MMR-8 digital audio dubber for the motion picture industry won an Oscar® at the Scientific and Technical Academy Awards in 2001 - based largely on its contribution to the Dolby Surround EX final mix for “The Lord of the Rings.” TASCAM also won Emmy Awards in 1995 (for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering Development for the TASCAM DA-88 Digital Multitrack Recorder) and 2000 (for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering Development for the MMR-8 and MMP-16).

Company History
TASCAM is one of four divisions of TEAC Corporation, a $1.2 billion manufacturing company headquartered in Japan. Since its founding in 1953, other divisions of TEAC have evolved into high-tech leaders in data storage devices, consumer electronics tools and industrial products, but TASCAM has remained dedicated to making innovative products for capturing creativity in the field of music and audio.

During the formative years in the early ’70s, the music scene was flourishing. Musicians who wanted to showcase their talents and abilities to the recording industry needed a cost effective means to record their music. However, most musicians could afford neither the expense of recording in a professional recording studio nor the asking price of professional recording equipment. Realizing the dilemma facing these musicians, TASCAM adopted a philosophy of manufacturing recording equipment that offered the uncompromising quality and durability of professional studio equipment while remaining affordable to the masses.

Looking Forward
As TASCAM enters its fourth decade in the music industry, we plan to make our future closely mirror our history. It’s about dedication. We will continue our commitment to provide our long time customers with the technology they need to Make It Happen, and we will seek to build trust with new loyal followers, too. Our collective ear will be kept to the ground so we can discover what musicians and industry professionals need - and then we’ll bring it to them. That’s the TASCAM way.
