Tascam Now Shipping DP-02 & DP-02 CF Portastudios
Tascam has released two new digital Portastudios, the DP-02 and the DP-02 CF. The new Portastudios have been updated with a new design, new effects, and a new display.
The DP-02 records to a 40GB hard drive instead of compact flash, and includes a multi-effect processor, stereo reverb and CD burner for CD masters and song backup.
