Otari DTR-90 Digital Tape Recorder

Otari didn’t just re-package an existing consumer recorder when it came time to build the Otari DTR-90 professional DAT machine. Instead, they applied the same formula as they have to all our professional audio products: They asked audio professionals what features they wanted. The result is a truly professional R-DAT that is destined to become the standard of the industry.
