DESCRIPTION<\/h2>\n

TASCAM\u2019s best-selling line of single-rackspace CD players has been updated with the\u00a0CD-500B. The CD-500B is a slot-loading CD player with a new transport, featuring brushless motors and an edge-grabbing mechanism to prevent disc damage. A front-panel 10-key pad is available for instant access to CD tracks, and flash start is available for instant playback.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The CD-500B supports MP3 and WAV file playback from CD-ROM as well as traditional audio CDs. The TASCAM CD-500B includes 16% pitch control for CD playback speed. Other features include incremental play, fader start, Call\/return to last play point, fade in\/out, power on play and more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A variety of control and interface ports are found onto the rear panel. Both RCA unbalanced and XLR balanced analog outputs are provided, as well as S\/PDIF and AES\/EBU digital outputs. The CD-500B can be controlled through RS-232C, Parallel, wireless remote control or an optional RC-3F footswitch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The reliable CD-500B is a perfect solution for installation, touring, house of worship and anywhere else rackspace is at a premium.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Available at a lower price point than the CD-500B, the\u00a0CD-500\u00a0<\/strong>does not include the XLR balanced outputs, AES\/EBU digital I\/O or parallel control.<\/p>\n
