Technical Documentation PRODUCT OVERVIEW
TASCAM's CD-160 is a cost-effective, rack mountable CD player. The Auto Cue function will set the CD-160 at the "first audio" in a track, offering faster start time on tracks with longer lead-ins. Pitch control is standard, allowing minor tuning adjustment or a bump in the feel of the track. Also, a +10 track increment saves time when trying to locate high track numbers. The CD-160 comes with a wireless remote.

APPLICATIONS

The CD-160 CD player is a simple, cost effective CD player capable of handling most installations, and offering advanced features like pitch control and auto cue. Mobile PA Systems (Schools, Small Bands, etc.) School systems often need to move between several locations in the school for various functions - the pep rally in the gym, the talent show in the theater, the staff meeting in the teacher's lounge, etc. These systems simply need a rack mounted CD player for portability, and will need to be durable enough to withstand the travel. Full production CD players are not required in these situations. Bands face a similar problem when trying to have CDs playing between sets, or even during set-up and tear down. Again, the fancy feature set is not required. All that is needed is the durable reliability that TASCAM is known for. The CD-160 offers a cost effective solution to these markets without dropping in all sorts of extra features that might cause the user to make a mistake. It's all about pure and simple reliability. Fixed Installations (Lecture Halls, Board Rooms, etc.) Whether you're setting up a player for a board room, lecture halls, dance studios, or small theaters, often what is required is a simple playback device. Extra features will often go unused in these environments, and the CD-160 offers a familiar player to these users. In the case of dance or music instructional facilities, the pitch control may come in handy for changing the feel of a track, or taking it to a different key. Plus, the keypad allows faster track access which comes in handy when dealing with sound cues or multiple backing tracks.
