Description:

The Tascam Portastudio 244, introduced in 1982, improved upon the previous design with overall better sound quality and more features, including: dbx noise reduction, dual/concentric sweepable EQ's, and the ability to record on up to 4 tracks simultaneously. [6]

In general, these machines were typically used by musicians to record demos, although they are still used today in lo-fi recording. The analog portastudios by TASCAM (a division of TEAC) and similar units by Fostex, Akai, Yamaha, Sansui, Marantz, Vestax, Vesta Fire, TOA, Audio-Technica, Peavey, and others generally recorded on high-bias cassette tapes. Most of the machines were four-track, but there were also six-track and eight-track units. Some newer digital models record to a hard disk, allowing for digital effects and up to 32 tracks of audio.

Sat unused for a few years now. Fantastic overall condition and to ones knowledge everything is working. No cracks no real chips or dinks apparent.

Grab yourself a real piece of recording history and grab it as they are getting rarer and rarer in this condition.

Its looks the part as well.

Any questions then feel free to fire a way.

Thanks for looking.
