DAT / Betamax PCM to CD
We can transfer Digital Audio Tape, (DAT) to CD or any other analogue or digital audio format. Almost all DAT machines could only record at 44.1 or 48 kHz at 16 bit resolution.
We can also transfer the earlier PCM recordings made on video tape, usually Betamax, that the DAT machine made obsolete.
We use Sony PCM 2600 and Sony PCM 7030 timecode DAT machines. The PCM 7030 has probably one of the best transports of any DAT machine built and is one of the more serviceable machines made. This is important and DAT as a format for recording is now obsolete yet there are many, many DAT tapes surviving and the machines, if not looked after, are slowly decaying!
Helical scan digital tape recordings such as 2 channel DAT, ADAT Tascam DA88 and DA38 are potentially very vulnerable to damage and as playback machines in good order become more scarce it’s really worth transferring any valuable recordings from the tape to another digital format, preferably in two places for safety.
