E-2A Bulk Eraser
The E-2A allows you to erase cassettes, as well
as 7" and 10" reeis of tape, quickly and com-
pletely. It comes with a pilot light and integral
circuit breaker to protect agalnst overheating.
TASCAM Cables
Cable, because of its inherent capacitance and
resistánce, Is an active component in an audio
system. There are vast differences in cable deslgn
and performance that have significant effect on
the sound quality you'll get from your equip-
ment. TASCAM Professíona! Audio Cables are
the best avaiíable.
Our cables feature very low capacitance (under
15 picofarads/foot) so they don't act as low-pass
fllters and roll off high frequencies. The capaci
tance is aiso consistent; it doesn't change when
the cable is bent or compressed. You don't get
noise or degradad results when the cable has
been used a while. Our cable's long-term stabili-
ty is provided by a special insulator that is as
flexible as foam core dielectrics, but far more
resistant to extreme coid or heat, and it doesn't
let the center strands migrate. It aiso avoidsthe
possibility of shearing the center conductor
when the cable is crushed, so that cable does
not suddenly fail.
Rather than loosely braided shieid or spiral
wrapped shieid that can open up, we use bare
copper braided shieid with 97 % coverage. This
exeludes electrostatic noise (buzz) and RFI (CB
interference, etc.). We aiso use a 7-strand center
conductor: 4 puré copper strands for mínimum
résistance and 3 copper weid stainless steel
strands for strength. The múltiple strands in-
crease flexibility and strength while offering less
resistánce at ultra high frequencies due to in-
creased surface area for the "skin effect." This
improves transient response.
The outer PVC insulating jacket resists abrasión,
and is tightiy fitted to the shieid so it wül not
elongate. The connectors are special, too. Their
nickel-plated brass center pins are a bit longer
than most to establish good contact in all RCA
jacks. The cadmium-plated steel outer shell
includes a gentle ridge' which burnishes the
mating jack when the connector is twisted to
ensure good contact. For máximum RF shield-
ing, the braid is terminated inside the shel l and
2-radian soldered, not just spot soldered, for
máximum strength. The plugs are ciad with an
oval jacket of molded plástic to further increase
strength and make the ends easier to handie.
TASCAM cable is avaiíable in lengths from 6
inches to 20 feet, or in color-coded sets of 8
for fast channel or function identification.
TASCAM cable is aiso avaiíable in 500 foot
spools.
If TASCAM professional cables are not avaiíable
in your area, please try to find the next best
cables. It really does make a difference in system
performance.
