TASCAM

TASCAM is the brand name used by TEAC Corporation for its line of professional and consumer audio equipment. The brand encompasses recording, playback, and mixing devices, including portable field recorders, multitrack recorders, audio interfaces, mixers, and installed sound systems. TASCAM products are widely used in music production, broadcasting, education, and live sound.

The TASCAM line originated with TEAC's development of portable multitrack recording equipment. In 1979, the Portastudio introduced the concept of affordable home multitrack recording, combining a four-track cassette recorder with built-in mixing and playback functions. The Portastudio line expanded over time to analog and, later, digital machines, establishing TASCAM's reputation for portable and affordable multi-track recording gear.

In the digital era, TASCAM expanded into hard-disk and digital recorders, USB audio interfaces, and computer-integrated systems. The current catalog includes handheld recorders (the DR series), desktop and portable recorders, multi-channel USB interfaces, mixers, and broadcast and installed-sound equipment. As a TEAC brand, TASCAM products are manufactured to professional standards and distributed worldwide through authorized dealers. The brand emphasizes reliability, ease of use, and compatibility with common digital audio workstations.
