The Tascam CD-400UDAB is a feature-packed, rack-mountable media player designed to meet the needs of a wide range of audio playback environments. It supports playback from CDs, USB memory sticks, SD/SDHC cards, and even Bluetooth devices, making it ideal for users who need to handle multiple formats with ease. With support for WAV, MP3, AAC and WMA files, and flexible playback modes including continuous, single, random, and repeat, it's a reliable choice for background music, school presentations, or parties and live events.
For quick and cable-free playback, the CD-400UDAB includes built-in Bluetooth functionality. Once paired, your smartphone or tablet can be reconnected instantly with a single button press. And for devices without Bluetooth, a handy stereo mini-jack AUX input on the front panel makes it easy to plug in and play from any portable music player.
Enjoy crystal-clear digital radio with the built-in FM/DAB+ tuner, offering 20 presets each for both FM and DAB+ stations. The dedicated tuner output allows different audio sources to be played in separate zones, perfect for multi-room installations or dual-purpose venues. What's more, the unit allows real-time dubbing from CD or tuner to USB or SD card, all without the need for a computer, just press record and go.
Designed with both commercial and professional use in mind, the CD-400UDAB features balanced XLR outputs for installations requiring longer cable runs, as well as standard RCA outputs for consumer audio systems. Remote control is available via the included RC-CD400 wireless remote or through the RS-232C serial port for integration with media control systems.
