130
TASCAM's Model 130 cassette deck is the best
value for mixdown applications.  The 130's three
head design places the play head after the
record head, so you can monitor the sound from
tape during mixdown, rather than just listen to
the audio being sent to the recorder.  Of course,
with high sonic performance, detailed metering,
and complete list of noise reduction options, it's
no wonder the 130 is popular with users of all
levels.

The 130's three head design is key in mixdown situations.  In a 
typical cassette deck, there are only two heads.  The erase head 
erases any signal previously recorded to the tape, and the other 
head switches between record or playback.  So, when you are 
recording, you only know what is being sent to the cassette 
recorder.  
A three head cassette deck has independant heads for record and 
play, so the signal can be recorded with one head, and played 
back from the play head during the recording process.  This allows 
you to listen to what is going onto the cassette while recording.  
Listening to the tape as you record lets you know instantly if the 
tape is overloading, or if there are bad sections on the tape.  No
longer will you have to wait until the whole tape is done to know
if the tape is OK!
Also, if any recordings of radio broadcasts are to be done, the 
MPX Filter is invaluable.  FM broadcasts actually carry program 
material that can interfere and possibly totally defeat Dolby noise
reduction circuits from being effective.  The MPX Filter targets 
and removes these frequencies from the content to be recorded 
without creating any audible artifacts.
Home and Project Studio Mixdown Deck
Mixdown is the obvious application for the 130.  Confidence 
monitoring afforded by the three head design, combined with the 
outstanding sonic performance make the 130 the best value for
cassette recorders.
Music Education Installations
For band, choir, drama, and dance programs that need to make
high quality rehearsal and show tapes, the 130 is unbeatable. 
Often times, users in this application do not have any formal 
training in audio recording, and the simple operation of the 130
limits the possibilities of the wrong button being engaged.  Plus,
the pitch control offers the ability to make anything from minor
adjustments to pitch, or drastic tempo adjustments easily.

As explained in 
the Applications 
Section of this 
document, the 
typical cassette 
recorder only has 
two heads, with 
one head doubling 
as play and record.  When you monitor a two head tape deck during 
record, all you hear is what you are sending it.  In a three head design, 
the play head is totally independant of the record head, allowing you to
listen to the sound from tape.
