Tascam 112RmkII Technical Documentation

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The 112RmkII is the perfect deck for people needing a
extended recording and playback from a reversible
cassette deck, yet they still need professional reliability
and performance characteristics. The 112RmkII offers
true three head performance during the recording
process, allowing the user to monitor from tape. The
parallel I/O controls offer the facilities for controlling
the deck from other control surfaces, getting tally
responses back from the deck, or connecting the
optional RC-112R. When you need the best reversible
cassette deck around, get TASCAM's 112RmkII.

APPLICATIONS
The 112RmkII is the most advanced bidirectional cassette deck on the
market. The 112RmkII was built with the same attention to detail and
focus on quality as the venerable 122mkIII, a commitment that is always
appreciated not only when the unit is first installed, but even after
logging years of steady use.
Broadcast Facilities - Live Theaters
The 112RmkII has all the interfacing necessary to make live production a
breeze. Whether it's calling in a sound cue, recording longer program
material, or just bringing in background music or music beds, the
112RmkII is the machine of choice. Since this cassette deck also employs
separate record and reproduce heads, the 112RmkII is also an excellent
mastering recorder, allowing the user to monitor from tape.
Home Studios - Project Studios
Reference mixes are often dropped onto cassette since the media is far
easier to work with than CD-R, and more ubiquitous than DAT or MiniDisc.
The 112RmkII's separate record and reproduce heads mean you instantly
know what your mixdown sounds like on tape. No more waiting for the
playback afterwards to know if you've overloaded the tape or not.
The simple pleasures of an RTZ function and two locate buttons with
looping make auditioning songs or selected parts of songs a breeze. Add
the optional remote or balancing kit when needed, and you've got the
best reversible cassette deck available on the market.
Contracting Installations
Whether you need to create a tape loop for background tracks, or an
inexpensive logging system, the 112RmkII is an excellent choice. The
112RmkII offers a cascade play/record control through the parallel
control for linking multiple 112RmkIIs in hands free sequential operation.
