Tascam MD-CD1BMK3 / MD-CD1MK3. Alternately spelled MD-CD1BMKIII / MD-CD1MKIII.

The "MD-CD1BMKIII" is the successor to the standard MD-CD1BMKII commercial MD / CD multifunction device equipped with various functions required in the field while achieving a space saving of 2U.

In addition to being able to operate the CD player and MD recorder independently and use them at the same time, it is possible to make full use of the advantages of being a combo unit, such as continuous playback and up to 4x speed dubbing from CD to MD.

The CD player section can play not only audio CDs but also WAV files and MP3 files. It also supports CD-R / CD-RW discs. The pitch control from -50% to + 16% can be changed with the dedicated knob
