TASCAM DA-3000 Master Recorder/ADDA Converter

Versatile convertor for multiple applications.




The DA-3000 is perfectly designed for stereo
PCM/DSD recordings at high sampling frequencies suitable for archival
masters. This magnificent unit is capable of recording analog and
digital signals up to 192kHz PCM or 5.6MHz DSD. The unit records to both
SDHC cards and UDMA supported CF cards.

The variety of inputs
and outputs enable connection with all types of studio equipment,
including audio interfaces and mic preamps. The analog inputs and
outputs include both XLR and RCA jacks. The digital connections include
S/PDIF RCA coaxial and XLR jacks to support AES/EBU. The BNC SDIF-3
inputs and outputs support DSD digital connections.

With the goal
of making a high-quality audio recorder and ADDA converter easy to use,
Tascam designed the front panel with all of the necessary external
controls and included long, brightly lit meters and display. The 128x64
OEL display allows you to check necessary information quickly, and the
24-dot level meters allows you to confidently monitor levels at all
times.

You can synchronize the operation of multiple DA-3000
units by interconnecting their digital inputs and outputs. Files that
have been recorded in sync will have sample-level synchronization as
well. In addition to stereo DSD recording of Jazz and classical music,
this also makes simple DSD multitrack recording of bands possible.

Use
of a dual mono structure for the output circuit eliminates interference
between the left and right channels and achieves high audio quality by
maximizing the performance of the components. Two high-quality mono
circuits are built into the unit. The left/right channels each use one
highly-acclaimed BurrBrown PCM1795 D/A converter chip.

The TASCAM
DA-45HR, which is still used in many studios, uses a dual mono
structure with NE5532 ope amps and BurrBrown D/A converters. By using an
equivalent output circuit structure including DA converters of even
higher quality that support DSD, the DA-3000 provides a portable
high-quality monitoring system.

The internal circuit uses a
fully-balanced structure that is completely resistant to noise from the
inputs and outputs. This has a great effect on the output and input
stage impacting the recorded audio. The input audio is digitalized by
the BurrBrown PCM4202 ADC after it passes through the analog input
circuit.

Operational amplifiers have a great impact on audio
quality, so Tascam carefully selected the NJM2114 and NE5532. In
addition, they selected low-impedance capacitors featuring low
resistance, low noise and high precision to emphasize audio quality.

In
order to assure high-quality audio input and output, a stable power
supply is indispensable. The EI core transformer incorporated into this
unit has separate coils – one for the digital circuits and control
panels and one for the analog circuits – making it possible to capture
even higher-quality signals by suppressing noise. In addition, for the
clock generator, we have used a temperature-compensated crystal
oscillator (TCXO) that boasts 1-ppm precision.

Cooling fans
inside equipment generate noise and can cause loss of accuracy when
monitoring at low volume levels. With the DA-3000, Tascam has achieved
high performance in a fanless design, allowing you to maintain a
comfortable monitoring environment that is free of fan noise.
