The TEAC W-1200 Dual Cassette Deck combines TEAC's extensive experience in high-quality tape recorders with modern functionality. Designed for both analog enthusiasts and digital users, this versatile cassette deck offers a range of features including mic mixing, USB digital output, and parallel recording. It delivers authentic analog sound while providing digital archiving capabilities for your cassette tape collection.

Whether you're interested in creating mix-tapes, recording conference minutes, or enjoying karaoke, the W-1200 provides a comprehensive solution. Its independent drive mechanisms allow simultaneous recording on both decks, and its noise reduction system ensures playback of Dolby B NR tapes with minimal hiss.

Features

The W-1200 features two one-way cassette decks with independent mechanisms, enabling simultaneous recording on both decks to create identical tapes. Each deck supports playback of Normal (Type I), Chrome (Type II), and Metal (Type IV) tapes, and recording on Normal and Chrome tapes.

Equipped with a noise reduction system, the W-1200 reduces hiss from Dolby B NR tapes, enhancing playback quality and preserving the original sound as closely as possible.

TAPE1 includes a ±12% pitch control for adjusting playback speed, ideal for restoring old tapes to their original pitch. Both decks feature Return-to-Zero (RTZ) functions for easy navigation to the "0000" counter position.

With Parallel Recording, users can create two identical tapes simultaneously. The mic input and mixing feature support karaoke and announcement applications, allowing users to record mixed audio directly to cassette tapes without an external mixer.

Digitally archive your cassette library with the built-in USB output, supporting CD-quality recording up to 48kHz/16-bit. This feature enables easy transfer of tapes to a computer for playback on various digital devices.

The W-1200 includes a dimmable fluorescent display with level meters, a one-touch dubbing function, REC MUTE for adding silences between tracks, and compatibility with external timers for automated recording and playback.
