Tascam DA‑20 MkII Digital Audio Tape (DAT) Recorder Rack Mount
The Tascam DA‑20 MkII is a solid, rack-mountable DAT recorder designed for professionals and enthusiasts seeking reliable digital audio capture.

Notably, it can override SCMS copy control codes, allowing for broader recording flexibility than most consumer DAT units. Whether you're duplicating, archiving, or integrating vintage digital audio, the DA‑20 MkII delivers clean, consistent performance.
