Product Description

The TEAC W-1200 Dual Cassette Deck is a modern, high-quality solution for cassette enthusiasts, blending classic analog playback with digital archiving capabilities. Featuring two one-way cassette decks with independent mechanisms, it supports recording and playback on normal (Type I), chrome (Type II), and metal (Type IV) tapes. A USB digital output enables CD-quality (48kHz/16-bit PCM) archiving to a computer, making it easy to digitize your cassette collection for playback on smartphones, DAPs, or car systems. With a mic input for karaoke and mixing, Dolby B noise reduction, pitch control (±12%), and parallel recording, it offers versatile functionality. The robust black chassis and user-friendly interface, including a fluorescent display and level meters, reflect TEAC’s legacy of world-class tape recorders since 1953.

Key Features

Dual Cassette Decks: Two one-way decks with independent mechanisms allow simultaneous recording on both, ideal for creating duplicate tapes, and enable operation of one deck (e.g., changing tapes) while the other plays or records.
Noise Reduction: Dolby B NR suppresses hiss on legacy tapes, delivering sound close to the original, with auto-detection for normal, chrome, and metal tapes.
USB Digital Output: Records cassette audio to a computer at 48kHz/16-bit PCM, enabling digital archiving of tapes for modern playback devices.
Mic Input with Mixing: 1/4" mic input with mix level control supports karaoke or speech recording, mixing with cassette, CD, or line input, recordable to tape or USB.
Pitch Control: TAPE1 features ±12% pitch adjustment for creative playback or restoring old tapes, ideal for transcribing or music/dance practice.
Parallel Recording: Records identical content on TAPE1 and TAPE2 simultaneously, perfect for creating backup or shared copies.
One-Touch Dubbing: Simplifies tape-to-tape copying with a single button for easy duplication.
Return-to-Zero (RTZ): Both decks feature RTZ to return to the “0000” counter position with one press, enhancing navigation.
Timer REC/PLAY: Supports scheduled recording/playback with a third-party audio timer for automated operation.
Versatile Connectivity: Includes 2 RCA inputs (line), 2 RCA outputs (line), 1 mic input (1/4"), 1 headphone output (1/4"), and 1 USB output for digital recording.
