TEAC AD-850 SE
TEAC combo unit featuring CD player, cassette deck and USB player, with microphone input for karaoke and mixed recording.
Description
The TEAC AD-850 SE is a combo unit that brings together a CD player, a cassette deck and a USB audio file player in a single chassis. This combination allows content to be played, recorded and exchanged between three different types of media without the need for multiple separate units.
The unit supports cross-recording combinations between its three sources: it is possible to record from a cassette, a CD, an external input or a microphone input to a USB flash drive, for example in MP3 format, as well as to record from a CD, a USB player, a microphone input or an external input to a cassette. A built-in microphone input jack also allows the unit to be used for karaoke, accompanied by a music track from a CD, a cassette or a USB player, with the option to mix the microphone sound and record the result to cassette or USB drive. The unit also has an extended timer covering cassette recording and playback as well as CD and USB content playback.
This type of combo unit is aimed at those who wish to keep using their cassettes and CDs while enjoying the convenience of a USB drive, without having to connect several units. The karaoke function with microphone input also makes it a sensible choice for family or club use, alongside an existing setup.
What to check before buying used
On this three-in-one combo unit, the CD player mechanism and optical block remain the most exposed to wear, with a risk of a temperamental drawer or unstable playback on burned discs. The cassette side also deserves a check of the playback/recording heads and the tape transport, as a worn pinch roller or internal belt affects the sound and pitch stability. Finally, it is worth checking that the USB port and the various cross-recording combinations work properly, as these functions are the first to become unreliable over time.
