Description
The TEAC W-1200 is a stereo double cassette deck fitted with a USB recording output. It allows you to play, copy from one cassette to another and convert analogue recordings into digital files.
The unit features two high-precision mechanisms, allowing direct copying from one deck to the other without going through an external recorder. Dolby B noise reduction limits the hiss inherent to magnetic tape during playback and recording. The FL fluorescent display makes it easy to read operating information, while the RCA inputs and outputs allow it to be connected to an existing hi-fi system.
This double cassette deck is aimed at those wishing to digitise a cassette collection via the USB output, or simply to replay and duplicate existing tapes within a conventional audio system.

What to check before buying used
On a double cassette deck, the condition of the playback and recording heads on both mechanisms directly affects sound quality and the accuracy of copying from one deck to the other. Also check that the tape runs smoothly and that there is no speed drift on either of the two transports. The proper functioning of the USB output and the reliability of the Dolby B noise reduction system should also be tested before purchase.
