In addition to its Apple iDevice connections, the CD-200iL features Tascam's esteemed CD-5020A CD transport to provide quiet playback, smooth loading, longevity and anti-shock memory. The unit can also play back MP3 and WAV files from data CDs and display ID3 tags and CD-Text. A 3.5mm stereo line input on the front panel allows for the convenient connection of non-Apple mobile devices whilst the rear-mounted stereo line RCA, coaxial and optical audio outputs provide all of the necessary connectivity options.
Additional features include pitch control with an on/off knob, a headphone output with level control, intro check and a variety of convenient playback modes which can help prevent the user from making a mistake. The included wireless remote control gives access to most features and allows tracks to be selected directly via a 10-key pad
The CD-200iL is the perfect 2U rack-mountable addition to any commercial or public space audio install. With its wide array of options and playback features, the CD-200iL can meet nearly every demand for reliable, high-quality audio playback.
