No matter how elaborate a multichannel tape recorder is, it doesn't do the job without help.
A lot of equipment is involved, and a lot of talent as well.
The recorder becomes the keystone in a system that involves microphones, mixers, loudspeakers, amplifiers and many sophisticated electronic devices.
Everything contributes a part of the system of multichannel recording.
In the Tascam 32 general purpose 2 channel recorder/reproducer we have included the features, circuits and controls necessary for a wide variety of applications.
For example, true stereo remote recording with a minimum amount of extra equipment is made possible by the inclusion of microphone pre-amplifier, pads and headphone amps.
