A used Otari DP-8-Z4 quad cassette tape stereo recording slave to record cassette tapes in stereo at 16 times speed.
These all came in one batch from a working environment and most do still work that we briefly tested, but we don't have the time to do extensive testing, so are being sold as spares or repairs.
Please note that you will need a master Otari DP-10/DP-3 or DP-33 machine to be able to duplicate onto this slave.
The specs from Otari are as follows:
The Otari DP-8 series cassette copier is a compact duplicating system for audio compact cassettes. The DP-8 series can duplicate cassettes at the copy rate of 16 times. The DP-8 series consists of two machines: DP-8-C3 master unit and DP-8-Z4 copy unit. The DP-8-C3 includes one master deck and three copy decks, and a 1:3 duplication is obtained with a single use of the DP-8-C3. The DP-8-Z4 includes four copy decks and is used for only recording signals sent from the DP-8-C3.
The duplication system can be easily expanded by connecting the DP-8-C3 with up to 15 DP-8-Z4s. A maximum system provides a 1 : 63 duplication system. Also, by combining the optional Otari DP-10/DP-3 or DP-33 Digital Master Reproducer (x16) with the DP-8 series machines, the system provides high quality recordings.
