CD-quality recording with a large diaphragm condenser mic, powered monitor, mic stand, and cables.

This recording package includes the Tascam DP-02FX/CD Digital Portastudio, one MXL 990 condenser microphone with shockmount, Fostex PM0.4 powered studio monitors, a Musician's Gear MS-220 tripod mic stand with fixed boom, two 5' Livewire TRS-TRS balanced patch cables, and a 20' MG Lo-Z microphone cable.

Tascam DP-02FX/CD Digital Portastudio
TASCAM's DP-02 makes recording simple by matching 8-track CD-quality recording with a Portastudio interface-so you can ditch the menus and concentrate on the music. A pair of record-quality TASCAM mic preamps features XLR inputs with phantom power for condenser mics and a guitar input for direct recording. Each channel gives you dedicated controls for instant access to fader level, record arm/track mute, pan, effect send, high and low EQ. There's also an EQ frequency button for finer control over the mix.

Two effects processors are included in the DP-02. A multi-effects processor on the input provides great-sounding overdrive, flange, delay, and more for your guitar, vocal, drum and bass tracks. In addition, there's a reverb processor on a send and return for adding hall, room, plate, or chamber reverb to your mix. The DP-02 is loaded with great TASCAM extras like a chromatic tuner, metronome, and bar-and-beat display for getting around your song.

The DP-02 records two channels at a time to a built-in 40GB hard drive. When you're satisfied with your production, arm the dedicated master track for your stereo mixdown. You can transfer your tracks and mixes or backup your song to a computer through a speedy USB 2.0 connection or burn it to a CD with the slot-loading drive. No other workstation makes recording so simple, affordable and fun as the TASCAM DP-02.

MXL 990 Condenser Microphone with Shockmount
The MXL 990 Condenser Microphone with Shockmount has a silky, sweet high end while retaining tight, solid low and midrange reproduction. The 3/4" gold-sputtered diaphragm creates a professional sound suited for digital and analog recording. Attractive vintage body style with champagne finish. 30Hz-20kHz frequency response. 130dB maximum SPL. Includes custom shockmount, mic stand adapter, and case. Requires phantom power.

Fostex PM0.4 Powered Studio Monitors
Diminutive in size, but with a sound that has to be heard to be believed, the PM0.4 is naturally recommended for desk-top use but its superb audio performance in a compact physical size expands its applications to professional console top studio monitoring, audio installation and portable audio monitoring. Features 36 watts of bi-amped power, UFLC 16mm soft dome HF unit, 100mm LF woofer and overall volume control.

Electronics:
The PM0-4 monitor features internal bi-amplification employing two state-of-the-art amplifiers which are precisely calibrated to match the performance of the drive units and utilize high quality discrete bipolar output devices:HF 18w, LF 18w. High-capacity power supply units are used for excellent transient response. PM0.4 offers TRS and Line inputs

High Frequency Unit:
The soft dome tweeters employ Fostex's UFLC technology (Poly Urethane Film Laminated Cloth) to achieve light weight and high stability performance.

Low Frequency Unit:
Uses a mixture of cut and milled fibres made from aromatic polyamide impregnated with resins to simultaneously achieve high rigidity and optimum damping. An olefin film is thermally adhered to its surface to control frequency response and ensure reliability. Distortion is minimized by the use of an ultra-pure copper voice coil.

Musician's Gear MS-220 Tripod Mic Stand with Fixed Boom
The MS-220 Tripod Microphone Stand has a thread adapter and tubular legs. Adjustable height from floor to top thread is 35" to 61-7/8". The 30-1/4" boom is fixed in length.

2 Livewire TRS-TRS Balanced Patch Cable
For serious-minded musicians, Live Wire cables have the strength and durability to withstand more than everyday use. This is a balanced 5' long (TRS) 1/4" phone connector on both ends. Professional interconnect. Nickel finish.

Your cable is your sound. Superior wiring allows your signal to be quiet, eliminating frustrating hums, buzzing, and crackles. Sturdy construction enhances signal and performance. Flexible design eliminates kinks and twists for a tangle-free performance whether you're in the studio or on the stage.

MG Lo-Z Microphone Cable
This flexible 20' mic cable has Neutrik male XLR to female XLR connectors.

This studio is great, it does what it is supposed to do. The cd quality is right on. It doesn't take a smart artist to use, but I do recommend you read the manual all the way through to get the studio potential out of it and use the effects right. The mic stamd is not the best and I recommend a pop filter to get better quality sound. Add a cheap berhinger mixer to it to get even better sound recording also. The mic is good enough to throw some quality tracks. Make sure to position as a over hang mic for better sound. The fostex monitor speakers are awesome. Like I said, I know its easy to use, but read the manual to get the full potential out of the studio. Can't complain about the quality of the tracks, they sound crisp and clean. It's worth the money, so buy it now.

Since this is my first venture in digital home recording and I'm completely new to this, I'll tell you, for the price, this package is great. The recorder itself is user friendly, but limited to 2 tracks at a time(Was able to set up the entire package, and reherse in just under a half hour). The fostex monitors are compact, have a decent sound quality, and are easy to use. The mxl 990 mic is great for the price-clean sounding, but very sensitive. the stand is stable. For someone looking to lay down afew tracks at home, with a limited budget, this is more than enough for you. Great compact non computer based home studio package.

The Portastudio is a STUD!!

I bought the TASCAM Portastudio package because of the Fostex studio monitors and condenser mic and chords that came with the 8-track recorder. I've never owned a digital or analog recorder before and thought getting the whole package together would not only be cheaper but easier. This package truly delivers they did a good job putting this package together.

In the past week I have recorded myself and others using the 8-track Portastudio. It is very easy to use and the quality of the recordings have been outstanding. This from someone who has never owned or used a digital recorder before. I have now completely redone a demo for my acoustic rock trio and I have had several musician friends stop by to record a few of their songs with the same outstanding results.

The effects for the guitar, bass, vocals and drums are very serviceable and can be used for anything. I have used guitar effects for drums or vocals, or have used vocal effects for guitars, etc. The unit is really versatile in this way. You can experiment with it. Mixing down the tracks is very easy. The internal reverb is outstanding. Bouncing tracks into one or two tracks is a breeze. Punching in and out of a song to fix those unfortunate mistakes is simple and completely undetectable. The one word I can use to describe this recorder is it's consistent. It does a great job each and every song that you record.

The internal CD recorder/player is very convenient and is great for burning multiple CDs right after producing the final mix-down of a song. It's instant gratification. The only complaint I have is that it does take a long time to burn songs onto a CD. If you have 4 or 5 songs running about 15 minutes total, it takes about 15 minutes to burn the CD. But it's worth the wait. The songs I've recorded on the Portastudio sound great after being burned onto a CD and listened to on a car stereo, computer, myspace web pages and home stereos.

I haven't fooled around with the condenser mic that comes with the package. It sounds good, but I prefer my SURE vocal mic for recording. The Fostex studio monitors are outstanding. Killer sound. All cables included in this package are very high quality. Mic stand is serviceable.

The cost of this recorder is cheap compared to the quality of the songs it can record. It's hard to believe that you can record songs that sound this good on a machine that costs so little. Amazing.
