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.
Released in 1995
Otari proudly introduced a new R-DAT recorder in 1995, the Otari DTR-8. The Otari DTR-8 follows the concept of the familiar DTR-7, but with greatly enhanced capabilities.
Released in 1997
The Otari MX-5050BIII has long been the standard in 1/4″ two-track analogue recorders. It features an optimised three-head design and transformerless balanced inputs and outputs to provide superior frequency response, low distortion and high signal-to-noise performance under the most demanding conditions.
Released in 1997
The Otari PD-20 is a high-quality, versatile 2-channel recorder and editor with extensive synchronisation, editing, and playback features, designed to replace traditional tape-based recorders in modern studios and broadcast environments.
