Tascam 464 4-Track cassette multitrack & 12 ch. Analog mixer. Rare Vintage find
November 29, 2017 admin 0 Comments
It is worth having this indispensable machine around in any audio or video environment to add substantial life. To any cold masterings that perhaps only a tape based format can ever deliver. As a desk top mixer, the 12-channel input alone is an amazing value enough to justify its staple purpose in any home based or pro studio alike.. Don’t missed out on this opportunity to own it! It’s all you need for capturing that missing body of warmth sound character unattainable by the ubiquitous ones and zeros counterpart. One of my personal project, fully serviced with upgraded NEW compatible capstan motor (originally Mabuchi, Japan 1600/3200rpm) with a slightly marginal higher revolution percentage of 2000-low spd/4000-high spd RPM in both respctive low and high speed mode. As in tape rule of thumb, the higher the speed, the better in audio dynamics. To compensate speed discrepancies of any previous recordings on other multitrack machines, the low and high percentage “pitch speed” control knob is present at your disposal. Prior to posting, countless hours spent given a 20 point tune up including but not limited to, opening the machine layer by layer, board by board. New belt installed, tape transport rejuvenated, heads demagnetized. Lubrication and deoxit all knobs, controls & majority of electronics, as well as many relevant connections where necessarily important to ensure proper contact, static free and smooth operation. Furthermore, buffed and detailed clean every crevice every line to free from dusts with even some retouching may be involved in the refurbishing process. Bench tested and all buttons work as should, records and plays with motor mechanism as strong as intended and ready to put in service once again. The 464 is no longer in production and becoming a hard commodity and very sought after due to its professional quality result of any studio or live recording project and ease of use that is still relevant in digital culture of today! So grab it while it lasts! Like most vintages, some superficial imperfections and cosmetic are almost expected but in no way impede normal functionality.
