Enhanced CD recorder unit and playback functions that meet professional level demands

Various useful functions have been added to the CD recorder unit for more versatility. For the CD drive, a TEAC-manufactured drive that is both high in durability and reliability is utilized.
The drive can perform finely-tuned response and gapless continuous operation when updating tracks during recording due to its specially-designed firmware, a feature that would be impossible with standard computer drives.
Other features include rich playback functions and a high level of audio performance that enable the device to be used as professional-level CD player. The audio circuit is also equipped with high level design and components, with a high-spec frequency response of 20 Hz-20 kHz +/-0.8dB.

CD-RW901MKII: developed for studio mastering and broadcasting stations

The CD-RW901MKII, being a superior model, is designed by reinforcing the analogue input and output terminal of the CD-RW900MKII in addition to implementing external control terminals.
Long-run continuous recording (overlap recording) is now available by connecting multiple CD-RW901MKIIs, while the ISRC/RID code display function allows the CD-RW901MKII to be used as a recorder/player for checking in a mastering studio.

The CD-RW901MKII is also perfect for professional acoustic settings such as PA and sound reinforcement, and the CD-RW901MKII is an optimal device to be used within professional acoustic settings like mastering studios and broadcasting stations.
The CD-RW901MKII could be enjoyed for many years in the respective environment.
