Tascam (TEAC)

Tascam, part of TEAC, makes recording and playback equipment. Its DA-3000 appears alongside analogue sources in a listening-bar system.

Design & approach

TASCAM develops tools for recording and music production across professional and creative applications. Its history connects sound quality with operating reliability and usability. Tape and digital products in this directory should be understood by their task—playback, recording or routing—rather than assumed to occupy the same place in every signal chain.

Inside the system

Living Voice developed bespoke four-way horn-loaded satellites with 15-inch midbass drivers and two large bass cabinets under Kevin Scott’s direction. An Atelier du Triode 300B valve amplifier, listed at approximately 30 W Class A, serves the horns; two custom 500 W MOSFET amplifiers power the bass. The source collection includes Isonoe-modified Technics decks with Audio-Technica AT-XP7 cartridges and an Isonoe rotary mixer, plus a Kuzma Stabi XL-series deck with an ART1000 cartridge. Tascam DA-3000, Revox B77, Studer A730 and Pioneer CDJ-2000NXS2 sources add digital and tape formats. Apart Mask 6T speakers with REVAMP4120T amplification provide café fill. The split between main horns, bass cabinets and fill speakers is central to the room’s architecture.
